Lic. Sergio Alvarez
Guatemalan attorney and notary in good standing, with more than thirteen years of practice. His work focuses on notarial services and on transactions that end in a public registry: company formation, powers of attorney, civil registry matters and trademark protection.
He works directly with each client. The initial consultation, the drafting of the instrument and its authorization are done by the same person, which keeps information from getting lost between intermediaries and reduces errors that later have to be corrected at the registry.
A significant part of his practice is Guatemalans who live abroad and need to resolve matters in Guatemala without traveling. Years of work with clients in the United States, Canada and Spain have given him familiarity with apostilles, protocolizations and remote coordination across time zones.

The documents you send are used only for the matter you entrust to us, are not shared with third parties outside the file, and the duty of confidentiality continues after the matter is closed.
