TILPA - International Trade & Investment Law

Our practice involves training and research.  We have trained government officials, members of trade associations, merchants, academics and students in different universities and institutions.  Training sessions often complement legal advice.

Research for us is fundamental.  We are constantly developing research projects (articles and books).  Also, clients ask us to use our research abilities to develop key studies for their trade practice.

We maintain close and constant collaboration with universities, academic institutions, government agencies and development banks when undertaking research and training.
