Legal Exclusivity
DIKEI ABOGADOS’ by-laws contain no rules that are not strictly professional. It is a professional association for professional practice. Its corporate purpose is to advise and defend the interests entrusted to it by its clients.
Prohibition of Personal Business Dealings with Clients or Otherwise.
In view of the above, it is not surprising that we have prohibited the involvement of DIKEI ABODAGOS and its partners in any type of businesses whatsoever, neither with clients nor otherwise. Only the administration of family wealth is free of this categorical rule. Experience has shown us that the advisor’s involvement in the businesses of clients leads to confusion as regards the interests to be protected, to the blurring of duties and a loss of objectivity that is so necessary in this field.
Refusal of Administrative Posts.
Another consequence derived from this same premise is the refusal to hold administrative positions at the companies we advise. It is our belief that, as attorneys, we can only accept non-executive secretarial and legal advisory positions.
Preference for Settlements Over Disputes.
We have also incorporated into our unique statutes the preference for settlements over disputes. Experience has shown us that the old Spanish saying "Bad amends are better than a good fight" has become more and more true. This by no means precludes a vigorous attitude when legal disputes are the only option for the reestablishment of the patrimonial or personal balance of the person requesting our services. In this regard, some of the lawyers mentioned on our letterhead are known in forensic field for their procedural tenacity. Nevertheless, we prefer to settle.
