President's Message
Central America has become a market practically without boundaries, in which local and extra-regional companies operate with great mobility, all of them looking for the opportunities offered by more than thirty-seven million people and by the economies which exceed the eighty billion dollar mark.
Consortium Centro America Abogados was created in 2005 to serve this new reality, consolidated and stimulated by the approval of the North American Free Trade Agreement between Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic and the United States of America. Its creation by five of the largest and most prestigious law firms of each country of the Central American region provides complete and integral legal services.
Consortium has more than one hundred and fifty lawyers that with the inclusion of the support staff exceed more than three hundred people; we provide our services across the isthmus from ten different offices, located in the five capitals of the region and in the five largest cities with great economic activity. The maturity, experience and size of each of the firms that are part of Consortium, established in their respective countries of origin for several decades, has allowed Consortium since day one of operations the ability to provide throughout the region legal services and advice appropriate to the complexity of the cases that have been entrusted to us.
Such services include expertise in the banking sector, mergers and acquisitions, telecommunications, road infrastructure, ports and airports, electricity, real estate, tourism, litigation or arbitration. The quality of our services has been recognized by our clients in statements through specialized publications, interviews, referrals of new clients and most importantly, their permanence with us.
The region continues to grow; monetary stability, with complete freedom of remission of profits and repatriations of capital has encouraged the capital flow into the region and the strengthening of their economies. The family remittances contribute significantly to the nature of the capital accounts and the payment balance. In all countries, in spite of an increase in inflation generated particularly by the increase of oil and food costs the existence of macroeconomic stability is notorious, which favors the investment climate and employment generation.
