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.

We also participated in several fiscal matters  and in the preparation  of said Income Law.
