About Us

Today, Alegalis has developed into a business center for its clients, generating synergies that compel our clients’ growth, making us a strategic partner. We go beyond conventional legal advice. We enjoy getting involved in other areas and create new opportunities for our clients providing unique solutions.

In 2002, the firm is founded with the idea of diversifying the legal services rendered in Guatemala, changing from a traditional sense of legal and notary services towards an innovative practice with complementary services.

In addition to legal and notarial services, the firm began to render advisory and consultancy services in the financial and business areas. In the year 2005, the firm acquires the capacity to provide professional services within different countries in Central America and Mexico through representative firms.

Asia and Latin America are bringing the world new opportunities. We believe in staying ahead of the curve and in that pursuit we are able to provide services in Hong Kong and China. This brings us closer to the Asian countries and allows us to understand the cultural complexities.

As a financial and legal hub, Hong Kong is a strategic location for investment, trade and business in Asia. This is why we believe in this new venture and are currently investing in the Asian experience of our team.

¿Dónde estamos?

Ante las crecientes oportunidades de latinoamérica con Asia, hemos establecido operaciones en Hong Kong además de nuestras oficinas en Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua y Costa Rica a través de nuestra alianza Legic, la cuál permite a nuestros clientes acceder a servicios integrados en toda la región. Asimismo, contamos con alianzas estratégicas en México y EE.UU. .
