Mr. José María Sáenz Valiente laid the foundations of SÁENZ VALIENTE & ASOCIADOS in 1946 with the same principles and ideals with which his father founded a prestigious Law Firm in 1912. At that time, the laws protecting the labour activity had been passed and the Labour Law Courts had been created in Argentina. It was then when Mr. Sáenz Valiente, with the purpose of providing corporate assistance services as regards labour matters, started his important career in Argentine Law. Currently, SÁENZ VALIENTE & ASOCIADOS is one of the most important law firms in the Argentine Republic. The experience and specialization of its more than 40 attorneys allow the firm to advice companies and governmental agencies in almost all the areas of Argentine law. Its partners, Mr. José María Sáenz Valiente (h), Ignacio J.M. Sáenz Valiente, Damián F. Cassino, María Lucila Romero and Matías A. Fredriks, attorneys, are respected not only because of their skill to solve complex matters and conflicts related to modern operations and to offer practical solutions to the problems raised by their customers but also because of their integrity and values. They have been able to encourage these qualities among their associates and attorneys, creating a work environment that allows professional development, constant improvement and spirit of service, represented by its attorneys and clients. Among its regular clients, SÁENZ VALIENTE & ASOCIADOS has important national and international companies and entities that carry out activities in the Argentine Republic and abroad.
