Services

Clear, concrete, and assertive communication reduces the possibilities of future problems in your business relationships. If problems already exist, they can be solved by improving the communication.

Therefore, our services are focused on consolidating reliable businesses for our clients through the following services:

Knowledge management

"knowledge is power". At D&A, we understand that both public and private sectors need to master their environment to carry out their functions effectively, especially in relation to regulatory and jurisprudential changes and transformations. D&A offers knowledge management services to analyze the information that influences the ordinary course of their business.
Our services include impact analysis, projection of alternatives to mitigate or enhance impacts, and participation in spaces for the socialization of regulatory processes, among others.

By providing information management, we help our clients understand how regulatory and jurisprudential changes affect them, positively or negatively.

We follow up on legislative initiatives and maintain permanent contact with the actors of the process to create reliable links and ensure that our clients' projects are successful. Our interactive processes include the promotion of initiatives before entities that fulfill regulatory functions, based on an appropriate formulation that considers constitutionality, regulatory background, comparative law studies, and other aspects of vital importance.

We provide impact analysis to suggest possible alternatives to face or enhance changes, which is essential for companies' decision-making.

We also accompany companies in the decision-making and implementation process through different mechanisms, such as administrative and judicial actions relevant to each case.

Academic diplomacy

Countries engage in relationships across different areas, which primarily involve comprehending the social and cultural backgrounds of people, their worldviews, and how individuals interact. This interaction forms the basis of mutual understanding, facilitating the concurrent interests of states, such as trade agreements and other economic partnerships. 

Research and development promoted through academic processes, mainly in universities, is one of the most crucial elements of cultural growth. Academic advancements have enabled the creation of commercial improvements, which have made different countries competitive based on the natural resources they possess. 

Academic processes can contribute to expanding the competitive commercial advantages of countries through commercial exchange based on academic developments and resource exchange. This creates commercial agreements that allow cooperation between different nations in the pursuit of common interests.

Therefore, academic diplomacy is the tool that allows the achievement of countries' interests through the development of academic programs applied to research and development in areas of common interest with different countries. 

In other words: through the academy, the development goals of countries can be met as an exercise in political and economic relations between States. 

Thus, D&A helps universities collaborate with public and private entities to achieve Government goals through applied academic research.

Legal advice

D&A advises in two main areas of law:

Constitutional law

The legal world has become more complex due to the rapid development of the "constitutionalization of law" and the approach to the Anglo-Saxon justice system. This has made it more demanding and challenging. The Firm has, therefore, made it a priority to handle this area of law extensively and make it a fundamental pillar of its consultative activities. Constitutional law is the foundation of the legal system and it provides us with guidance in knowledge management, communication strategies, legal advice, and academic diplomacy.

To engage in litigation within this field, it is essential to have a deep understanding of the constitutional doctrine that has been established and developed over the years by the Honorable Constitutional Court. This includes not only its decisions when resolving public constitutional cases but also its broader criteria for interpreting and developing fundamental rights and guarantees, as evidenced by its judgments on protection actions and unification jurisprudence.

Thus, D&A advises on public actions such as constitutionality, compliance, and the use of administrative tools to communicate effectively with the Government institutions.

Administrative law

D&A stands out for its knowledge and experience in matters of administrative law.

Extensive experience in national and international regulatory affairs, dialogue with communities and political authorities to resolve disputes, and management of social plans, among others, on public policy issues on decarbonization, energy transition, sustainability models, and energy autonomy.

Advice on state contracting processes from the preparation and development of contractual processes to the award, which includes audits and audits in construction, supply, and consulting contracts, among others. Likewise, we advise on their completion and liquidation.

In the field of litigation, we deal with various types of contentious actions, such as nullity and restoration of rights, nullity, and contractual, administrative, and disciplinary labor issues.

Furthermore, we assist in handling large-scale projects that require community management, including prior consultation processes, and community projection in the territory, among other related actions.
