Criminal case dismissal in an alleged medical malpractice matter at a private hospital

A gynecologist-obstetrician at a private clinic in Quito was criminally reported following complications during the delivery of a patient with a high-risk medical history. The patient’s family alleged negligence and requested an investigation and sanctions for alleged negligent homicide. From the outset, we activated Cazar | Pesántez’s medical-legal defense protocol. We reviewed the medical records, informed consent forms, and the actions of the healthcare staff. We requested independent expert opinions and submitted technical arguments before the Prosecutor’s Office, demonstrating that the professional acted in accordance with lex artis and followed international medical protocols. As a result, the Prosecutor’s Office ordered the dismissal of the criminal proceedings, protecting the professional’s freedom and reputation. We are now proposing that the hospital implement a training and documentation improvement system to prevent similar situations in the future, through the DOCTORISK® program.

Corporate regularization and internal legal system for an agribusiness company

An organic products exporting company was facing observations from the Superintendence of Companies, Securities, and Insurance (SCVS) due to omissions in the filing of financial statements and the lack of updated powers of attorney and corporate books. This situation resulted in restrictions on access to credit and investment, as well as warnings from regulatory authorities. Through our BACKOFFICE LEGAL service, we began with a comprehensive legal compliance assessment. We assigned a team consisting of a senior corporate attorney, a junior attorney, and a legal documentation assistant. We regularized the company’s status before regulatory authorities, updated bylaws, powers of attorney, and corporate books, and implemented a digital legal traceability system. We also designed contract templates and trained the administrative team. In less than three months, the company achieved 100% compliance with the SCVS and reactivated its investment processes. Today, we maintain an annual agreement to provide ongoing and preventive legal support.

Prevention of inheritance litigation in a business family

A family that owns a transportation company with operations in three provinces of the country was facing internal tensions related to succession, as the founder was close to retirement without having legally planned the transition. Through our FAMILEX service line, we conducted a family diagnostic process, individual interviews, and developed a family protocol tailored to their structure and dynamics. We drafted a shareholders’ agreement among the siblings and prepared wills with advance succession planning. A Family Council was also established, and training workshops were delivered for the third generation. As a result, a potential legal conflict among heirs was prevented, governance was professionalized, and the continuity of the family business was secured. These stories reflect our commitment to prevention, defense, and comprehensive legal support at every stage of our clients’ professional, business, and family lives.
