BUSINESS, COMMERCIAL AND CORPORATE LAW

In Guatemala, Commercial Law is the body of legal norms that rule the actions of merchants, individual, partnerships or companies.  These laws also norm commercial assets and commercial contracts. 

Our advice in this area may include the following:

  • Assessments of commercial partnerships and due diligence 
  • The process of forming and legally registering commercial partnerships and companies
  • Preparation, drafting and writing decisions taken during board meetings or among partners of commercial companies
  • Stating official appointments and submitting them in Guatemala’s General Registry of Commerce (known as “Registro Mercantil General de la República”) 
  • Advice about procedures of capital contributions and distribution of shares
  • Drafting of legal documents regarding agreements and commercial contracts
  • Disolución of commercial companies
  • Transfer of registered shares

We also provide legal advice about International Joint Venture Operations, International Mergers and Acquisitions, and other economic groups.
