That is why our firm offers advisory services and the processing of immigration issues, both on a personal level, obtaining visas for tourists or students, residences and citizenship and at labor level, obtaining work permits and any other documents or authorizations necessary to labor, trade or reside in the region.
Employment & Labor
We do not pretend to understand the operations of our clients without knowing the relationship with their staff, which is an essential part of any company. That is why we are trained to knowing the labor laws in all 5 countries of the region. We advise our clients with an overall view of labor relations and structuring labor strategies, which take all specific aspects into account.
We count with great knowledge in consultation and litigation in the area of labor law. Also, we work on the needs of the employer/employee relationship with both local clients and multinational corporations.
Continually, we work alongside our clients to develop and prepare labor contracts, restrictive covenants, benefit plans, pension and labor incentives, such as manuals on labor norms, all of which involve complex legal requirements.
Our lawyers are frequently sought to do job evaluations and to assess the consequences of mergers, acquisitions, complex restructurings and downsizings, all of which are important diagnoses for the performance of a firm. We represent clients before Courts, Tribunals and Local Administrative Bodies in all kinds of labor issues.
Lawsuits & Disputes
In Lexincorp you find a team that has built efficiency in terms of the pursuit of the best interests of our clients. We count with attorneys who have represented not only regional and international clients before local Courts, but have also served as Judges and Magistrates of the Courts themselves, thus obtaining a special knowledge of the judicial structure of our countries. We are very meticulous and demand expertise and experience from ourselves, all needed to resolve differences that arise from the difficulties in contractual relations, both commercial and private, in the areas of administrative litigation, intellectual property, commercial, labor and constitutional law.
Likewise, we represent clients in mediation and arbitration processes, as alternative means of resolution, being aware of our client’s needs to solve their conflicts as quickly as possible. This same experience allows us to advise our clients in structuring their businesses, thus avoiding exposure or vulnerability.
Real Estate
The development of the real estate market in Central America is having a significant growth, providing opportunities for construction companies, developers, investors and financial institutions. When the world economy slowed down and the global real estate market was affected, the development in Central America continued.
We have lawyers specialized in Real Estate that can assist you in obtaining construction permits, tax-efficient property schemes, savings in legal structures and property, purchases of properties with complex guarantees via trusts and other services within the complex branch of the housing market.
For many years we have been advising our clients in order to make their building projects more efficient, reporting the highest amount of benefits through complex ownership schemes and taxation, as well as an approach to project management for obtaining permits, the structuring of contracts and the contract’s execution, from a legal point of view.
