Comprehensive business legal counsel: your company's lawyer every day of the year

Modern businesses do not need lawyers only when a crisis strikes. They need continuous, agile, coordinated legal counsel that supports day-to-day operations and anticipates problems before they arise. A corporate decision poorly made today can trigger litigation two years from now. A contract signed without proper legal review can put core assets at risk. A labour negotiation mishandled can turn into costly litigation.

That is why we offer a comprehensive business legal counsel service under a monthly retainer model: the company has a legal team that knows its operations, is available for immediate consultations, anticipates critical decisions and supports their implementation. This is the professional engagement model that works best for growing businesses.

Areas covered by the comprehensive retainer

Corporate law and corporate governance

Shareholder meetings, minutes, board of directors meetings, amendments to company bylaws, admission of new shareholders/partners, transfer of shares, compliance with the General Inspectorate of Justice (IGJ) and regulatory authorities.

Contracts

Review of all contracts executed by the company: clients, suppliers, distributors, key employees, leases, financing. Standardization of templates and approval processes.

Employment law

Employment contracts, regulatory compliance, prevention of labour disputes, management of union relations, dismissals and separations, workplace accidents.

Tax law

Coordination with the accounting team, tax planning, defence in ARCA, ARBA and AGIP audits, administrative and judicial appeals.

Regulatory compliance

International operations

Import, export, cross-border contracts, foreign exchange regulations, BCRA, double taxation treaties. Particularly valuable for companies with foreign shareholders or suppliers.

Litigation when necessary

When a dispute requires judicial proceedings, the team takes on the case with prior knowledge of the company and its operations, which reduces timelines and improves outcomes.

How the retainer works

The retainer is a fixed monthly fee covering a defined volume of advisory hours, consultations, document drafting and participation in meetings. Work exceeding the retainer is billed additionally, but at preferential rates. Retainer clients receive priority attention, agreed response times and a single point of contact who knows the operation. The structure is tailored to each client.
