Department
This department is served in our Law Firm by Mr. Armando Mérida
and Mr. Aldo Gómez who have a broad experience in these two fields,
being currently the main and most important department in our Law
Firm. We normally prepare Guatemalan corporations for national and
foreign companies, as well as anything involving the management of a
corporation in Guatemala, in other words everything related to both
shareholders' and board of directors meetings.
Mr. Mérida worked several years with the legal department of Bank
of America in Guatemala, and this experience has enable him to give
advise to different Banks in matters related with corporate and
commercial questions. The aforementioned also includes all kinds of
consultations via telephone, e-mail or fax. regarding these two
important fields of law, as well as Distribution Agreements and all
kinds of inquiries in connection with different commercial
contracts, whether national or international.
We also give assistance to our clients in their banking matters,
this means helping them with the preparation of all the
documentation necessary and requested by banks being national or
international for personal or corporate loans.

Patents and Trademarks
This field is in charge of Mr. Armando Mérida and Mrs. Ana
Molina, being assisted in the same by Ms. Marlen Gómez. During the
last years this field of our work, has been growing steadily, and we
are now able to provide our clients with a reliable and safe service

Each year we attend the International Trademark Association

clients and has helped us to develop a new clientele in this field.

Litigation is performed mainly in our office by Mr. Alvaro
Lorenzo and Mr. Aldo Gómez. We conduct mainly civil litigation. We
do not accept criminal cases, but we can provide our clients with
good lawyers in this field, in case that the need arises. If we
recommend a colleague of ours, we maintain the responsibility in
front of our client for the performance of the lawyer recommended by
us. We can provide advice in matters related with
labor law, should the need arise we can also provide excellent
litigators in this field.

Immigration
This is a very important part of our corporate and commercial law
areas, due to the fact that we are able to help our international
clients with all the services they need to have all their personal
legal papers in order. This means getting for them the necessary
authorizations to live and work in Guatemala . All necessary papers
are filed by our office, and practically the foreign personnel of
our clients only have to sign such documents that are going to be
filed with the different offices of the Guatemalan
government. This service, of course, is also provided for the
foreign personnel's family.
This work is conducted by Mr. Aldo Gómez.
