Firm Overview: 

BLP was founded in March of 2003 by a group of lawyers who shared the same view of the practice of law. They were convinced that legal advisors should become true business partners of their clients, especially by providing top legal advice with business sense. Hence the name: Business Law Partners.

The firm’s international capabilities extend world-wide. BLP has developed a network of law firms around the world, not only through years of working with some of the leading lawyers in each country, but also through exclusive legal networks in which it actively participates: World Services Group (worldservicesgroup. com), Meritas (meritas.com), Interlaw (Interlaw.com) and Interlex (interlexgroup.com) as well as Gala, Insuralex and ELA among other specialised networks.

Today, BLP is one of very few law firms in Central America working with a true business structure, where all its professionals and staff work together towards a common goal: to satisfy the demands of its clients. BLP’s professionals share values and principles, all for the benefit of its clients. BLP operates under a series of guiding criteria, which allow it to pursue the total satisfaction of its clients; these are: commitment to quality; commitment to service; ethics; team-work and cost-consciousness; commitment to leadership and development; talent; pro bono work and a strong deal-making culture.

The firm has remained loyal to its founding vision, providing its clients with comprehensive, personalised, innovative legal service by lawyers specialised in the different areas of law practice. It combines a global business vision with local culture to deliver strategic solutions.
