PROACTIVE PROPERTY PROTECTION

Individuals who receive the categorization of PEP (Politically Exposed Persons), their families and relatives, as well as other individuals who, although not designated PEP, are politically vulnerable, often find it difficult to move their assets outside their countries of residence, and even tend to see their assets affected (and frozen) in investigations motivated by political purposes.

Our legal team protects the assets of our clients proactively, first, generating corporate structures that allow greater protection of those assets, and then, ensuring that these assets are in countries that offer comprehensive protection.

And in the event that the goods are frozen, or directly expropriated, our legal team acts on behalf of our clients to resolve the dispute through International Investment Arbitration.

How does it work? An Investment Arbitration is an international process in which our client assumes the role of investor and requests the infringing State to return their property, or the corresponding compensation, in front of a panel of judges elected by the parties. Our team represents the investor in said international jurisdiction.

An Investment Arbitration has a variable duration, but it takes at least 6 months of preparation prior to the presentation of the demand, and then, according to the complexity of the matter, and the reception that the demand has in the country sued, between 2 to 5 years.
