MDV&ASOCIADOS has consolidated itself as a lawyers and economists office, specialized
in satisfying the needs of both companies and professionals in an environment as
complicated as today’s and in a normative framework increasingly more complex.
We are aware of the client’s need for honesty and rigorousness in the performance
requirements, proximity and secrecy in the dealings, as well as efficiency and quality of
service.
We are convinced that any professional practice needs to be based upon both the technical
competence as well as an ethical approach.
For that reason MDV has more than 25 professionals specialized in company law at it’s
disposal, who combine legal consultations with financial and tax counseling.
