From the beginning our company developed lobbying at higher
levels of the Executive Branch, performing such activity with strict adherence
to the law. Once the country’s political situation changed, LVII legislature
(1997), our company was able to adapt to that new scenario, and as a result
established a department specializing in lobbying before the Legislative Branch.
As an example we can say that our company is the first in
the country to have documented, proven results in the last few years. The archievement that we have participated in:
- Amendment to the Animal Sanitation Federal Act.
- Amendment to the Metrology and Normalization Federal Act.

and the permanent committee, of several agreements on different dates.

- Exclusion of the following products from transitory article 3
of the Income Tax Law: poultry pastes, sliced turkey and corn, which prevented
an over-quota importation tariff from being applied to these products. We
also participated in several fiscal matters and in the preparation of
said Income Law.
- 2004, Exclusion of the proposal by the Federal Government to increase the IEPS from 50% to 56.7% to alcoholic drinks greater than 20ºG.L., avoiding that the national tequila industry be affected.

Our services are classified as: Preventive, when monitoring
political initiatives or proposals that could affect our client’s interests;
Reactive, consisting of lobbying in order to slow down or stop initiatives
that contain violations of the Constitution, in both the House of Representatives
and the Senate, which if approved would gravely affect our clients; and Proactive,
where the objective is to protect the represented party’s interests by furthering
lobbying and negotiations.
