Legal Audits and Due Diligence Lawyers
Legal audits can uncover legal issues that an organization has overlooked or has been unaware of. Similar to a due diligence review, an internal audit can reveal corporate governance vulnerabilities and other vulnerabilities relating to contracts, insurance, and employment.
A periodic internal legal audit of your organization ensures that your operations and legal affairs are in compliance. Any problems uncovered during the audit can be resolved before causing problems in the future. Legal audits and due diligence reviews are essential before major transitions such as mergers, acquisitions, or consolidations.
The results and recommendations of our in-depth legal audits are kept confidential and are protected by the attorney-client privilege. We will thoroughly review the organization’s corporate governance matters, including the organization’s policies, procedures, and documents pertaining to compliance.

Intellectual Property Rights
Your intellectual property rights are protected differently in Honduras than in other countries. Intellectual property rights and protection are subject to the laws in Honduras. Since there is no “international copyright” that will protect your intellectual property across the globe, the protection against unauthorized use will depend on the national laws of that specific county. However, there are international agreements that offer copyright protection to foreign works.
When it comes to the protection of intellectual property, including trademarks and patents in Honduras, it is important to have a team of Roatan intellectual property rights attorneys ready to help protect your intangible assets. We can help create a robust intellectual property protection strategy and take the steps necessary to ensure that your rights are properly protected.
Antitrust Laws and Issues
In Honduras, the antitrust laws are ruled by legislative decree 357-2005 and by the internal resolutions of the antitrust commission. The goal of Honduran antitrust laws is to promote free competition within the Honduran marketplace to better protect the consumer and competition environment.
Antitrust laws, commonly referred to as “competition law,” primarily regard the regulations or statutes that govern fair and open competition between companies within various industries. Mergers and acquisitions can be subject to antitrust laws and regulations as well.
