30+ years
Of continuous practice since the firm was founded.

Legal, tax and financial
The three sides of almost any matter, under a single point of contact.
Close and to the point
Direct dealings with whoever handles the matter, and a defined way out.
One standard across six fields
- I
Legal advice

We intervene in disputes between two parties in order to reach a solution that benefits both. An agreement is always preferable to litigation.
- VI
Thirty years of experience
A project turned into reality, sustained by a team of professionals capable of resolving any situation.
Lawyers tend to be extremely conservative and forget that business is about taking risks.
The reward of a business lies in its risk.
We are lawyers who take controlled risks.
The law, matter by matter
We act across a range of legal fields in order to provide advice that is both tailored and comprehensive. The people involved in each matter attend to every aspect of it, so that the client is assured of the utmost rigour and dedication.

«We understand the practice of advocacy and of law, which are our trade and our profession as jurists, as Science, as Craft and as Art.»
Science, Craft and Art
- I
Science
We are driven by curiosity about the reasoning behind legal rules and decisions. From that study come actions that are clear, reasonable, intelligible and persuasive: those who come to us must understand at every moment why what is being done is being done.
- II
Craft
We accept only those matters that have real procedures and real prospects of resolution. For the same reason, we never guarantee the final outcome of proceedings or of a negotiation: to do so would fall short of the rigour we owe our clients.
- III
Art
We conceive of law as an instrument of social harmony. Our work consists in balancing rights and legitimate interests, and in opening channels of communication between parties in conflict where confrontation had closed them.
Vision, mission and values
In order to guide our actions and meet the unforeseen demands of each day, everyone at Villegas Romero & Asociados knows precisely who we are, who we wish to be in the future, and which values guide us in getting there.
- I
Vision
To be the finest alternative in the provision of legal services, for companies and individuals alike, through a close and decisive relationship, offering solutions tailored to each situation.
- II
Mission
To grow in an orderly manner, innovating within the legal sector, adapting our practice to new technologies and anticipating events, so as to offer a comprehensive service of the highest quality.
- III
Values
We encourage everyone's participation towards a common goal, sharing information and knowledge. We act with professionalism, moral integrity and loyalty. We focus our efforts on client satisfaction, and we base our success on the personal merit and professional contribution of every member of the team.
A philosophy we share with firms of the first rank.
The last thing you deserve on reaching the summit is for your lawyers to hand you problems that should have been solved during the climb.
Building a company and growing it successfully is like climbing the Himalayas: only 2 in 10 who try make it.
We solve them on the way up.
A shared philosophy
We maintain a lasting working relationship with firms whose standards and record we share.
