- Representation before federal and local courts (including the Supreme Court) on behalf of both Argentine and international clients in civil, commercial, tax, administrative, labor litigation and class actions
- Administrative proceedings before federal, provincial and local agencies and institutions, including the Argentine Central Bank, the Consumer Protection Agency, the Antitrust Commission, the Federal Tax Court
- Enforcement of foreign judgments and awards in Argentina
- Participation in international arbitrations as arbitrators, counsel or expert witnesses
- Advising on bankruptcy and creditors’ rights, including advising to debtors
- In-court and out-of-court debt restructuring proceedings
- Recovery of debts
Our more than three hundred lawyers have extensive experience in highly demanding matters and the complexity of international transactions. This strength allows us to react quickly and thus simultaneously participate in large, complex and demanding transactions, without compromising our quality of service. All our work groups are led by highly experienced partners and are formed based on the objectives of our clients.
We are distinguished by our clear track record in advising multinational companies and international financial institutions in their operations and transactions in Argentina and around the world. Additionally, we are characterized by experience in the complexities of transactions involving more than one jurisdiction. We understand the Argentine market and we also know how to ensure our clients achieve their objectives. In a global context of constant change, the continuity of ninety years of practicing law in Argentina trained us to respond to any challenge.
