International Alliance of Law Firms
Founded in 1990, the International Alliance of Law Firms (The Alliance) is an international organization of law firms that excel to provide their clients excellent legal services.
The Alliance is formed by independent law firms that provide legal services in many different countries.
The members of the Alliance have undergone a selection procedure, thus they are expected to provide: professional excellence, timeliness, service strength, the highest standard of ethics, practical solutions, knowledge of local business culture. Prospective clients must complete a questionnaire that is reviewed by the Executive. Following a satisfactory review of the candidate’s completed questionnaire, a representative of a member firm makes a personal due diligence visit to the candidate’s offices to meet with partners of the firm. Since personal contact is considered an important element of the selection process, representatives of the candidate must at least attend one annual meeting of the Alliance as observers before becoming members.
Lapique & Santeugini Abogados was admitted as a member in 2007 and hosted the Regional Meeting of the Americas that took place in October 2008 in Montevideo and Punta del Este (download the presentation here – Powerpoint, 13.7mb). Luis Lapique is the delegate of the firm in the Alliance, assists yearly to the Annual General Meetings and is a member of the Executive, as Vice President of the Governance Committee.
