BLP

In today’s accelerated business world making the right decisions can mean instant success or failure. Being able to rely on true business allies has never been so crucial as now. Fortunately, making the right decision as to whom those allies in corporate law should be has never been easier. For over seventeen years, BLP has provided legal counsel to both emerging and established companies on the best way to conduct business in Central America. What makes the firm unique is not only the many years of experience in which we’ve encountered every imaginable situation, but also how we’ve helped bring success to each one of our clients through an incomparable combination of talent and innovation.

In 2003, a group of attorneys envisioned a different kind of law practice in Latin America. Convinced that the corporate world was only becoming more complex and dynamic, they decided that companies needed legal advisors who offered a distinctive business focus. Thus, the firm’s name expresses our vision: Business Law Partners. Over the years, BLP has experienced exponential growth internally while expanding internationally by anticipating the way changes in the commercial, as well as legal, landscape may affect each of our clients no matter where they are located.

Reaching across 27 areas of legal practice, our team of experts can satisfy all of a client’s legal needs in one place. Our passionate team of over 180 attorneys addresses the specific requirements of each task at hand, forming highly specialized interdisciplinary teams. Through these teams, our vision is not only to offer creative and successful solutions to any current situation, but also to ensure our client’s protection and realization in the long term –avoiding potential legal pitfalls down the road.

We are proud to say that we have satisfied and exceeded every expectation our clients have had. As proof, over 500 leading local and multinational companies have already hired BLP’s integrated services.
