How we work
How the firm works
Four traits run through both divisions: how the work is organised, with what tools, with how much knowledge of the client’s business, and on what timescales.
Working method
Every piece of work follows a defined procedure, with control points set from the offer onwards.
What changes for the client The client knows in advance what they will receive, by when and with what support.
- Procedure and checklist for each piece of work
- Scope and timing in writing before starting
- Review by both partners before delivery
- Date, reference and version on every document
AI-native processes
The firm designs its processes around artificial intelligence, not as an afterthought.
What changes for the client The full universe of documents is reviewed where work used to be done by sampling. Legal judgement stays with the partners.
- Document review across complete volumes
- Systematised case files and portfolios
- Assisted drafts and calculation models
- Human verification against the source
Knowledge of the business
We understand how the client operates and join its operation before recommending.
What changes for the client The solution is designed around how the business works, not around a standard model.
- Diagnosis of the operation before proposing
- Taking part in the committees where decisions are made
- Documents fitted to the commercial process
- Direct dialogue with the client’s departments
Business timescales
The legal timeline is agreed against the client’s commercial calendar, not apart from it.
What changes for the client Timeliness and rigour are not traded against each other: both are planned from the services offer.
- Deadlines set with the operation in hand
- Explicit priority when a deal is under way
- Partial deliveries if the decision cannot wait
- The same quality control on any timeline
How we work
From the first meeting to the offer
No structure is recommended without first seeing the actual estate that has to carry it. The work starts by receiving the case, not by proposing a solution.
You
Write to us
Set out the matter and the deadline governing it. We respond with that week's availability.
If a hearing is already listed, include the date: the study is scheduled backwards from it.
You and the partner in charge
First meeting
We receive the case and establish its scope.
We confirm which division handles it: Corpus Legal, Corpus Capital or both at once.
Corpus Group, then you
Professional services offer
We send an offer setting out the method, the objectives and the fees for your particular case.
Once it is accepted, the work begins. Before that, no attorney-client relationship exists.

Partners
Who answers
Each division answers to its founding partner. The matter is run by the person who signs it.
The firm's methodology and its AI-native processes answer through these two partners.

Andrés Lerma
Founding partner · Corpus Capital
A litigator with a background in civil law and civil procedure, concentrated on acting for creditors and financial institutions. His practice covers the whole enforcement process: reading the negotiable instrument, tracing the debtor’s assets, interim measures and the judicial auction, with technical command of the insolvency procedure for non-trading individuals. That double reading, the creditor collecting and the debtor entering the procedure, is what makes it possible to stay ahead of the other side.
