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.

This field is in charge of Mr. Armando Mérida and Mrs. Ana Molina, being assisted in the same by Ms. Marlen Gómez.

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.
