Real-World Stories of Legal Triumphs: Case Studies from Murcia & Cuellar Legal Consultants

Our commitment to providing excellent legal services is best illustrated by the results we achieve on behalf of our clients. Murcia Cuellar Legal Consultants SAS has represented corporations, entrepreneurs, citizen communities, and individuals throughout a wide range of legal cases since its establishment in 2013. This is a selection of pages presenting the detailed stories of representative cases handled by the firm that illustrate our expertise, methodology, and value added.

Protecting a Business Acquisition: Thorough Due Diligence and Negotiation

“A prominent technology start-up in Phoenix engaged the services of Murcia & Cuellar regarding the acquisition of a smaller software development start-up. The client was seeking an opportunity to grow its line of services and clientele, but was looking at significant risks associated with intellectual property rights, employment agreements, and pending litigation.

Our firm’s team engaged in an extensive due diligence process, identifying the beginning signs of a copyright dispute and inconsistencies in some employment contracts in use. We advised on strategy, renegotiated terms in the acquisition, and wrote several protective clauses that protected our client from any pre-existing issues revealed in the initial due diligence phase. The outcome: acquisition successfully completed, client’s interests fully protected, and successful integration without the problem of post-closing disputes. This case shows our strengths in commercial and corporate law, as well as our commitment to protecting our clients’ investments.”

Relocation of Community: Navigating Corporate Growth and Social Obligations

“A national energy corporation selected Murcia & Cuellar Legal Consultants to manage the legal component of resettling a community affected by the construction of a large infrastructure project in New Mexico. The task was to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements, while fostering and respecting the rights and needs of over 80 resettling families.

Our multidisciplinary consulting team facilitated stakeholder meetings, negotiated nondiscriminatory compensation packages and ensured access to social and psychological support services for the individuals involved. We trained community leaders in legal concepts and approaches, enabling informed decision-making along the entire process. Completion was several months ahead of schedule, with both members of the community and the corporation expressing satisfaction with the transparency and equity achieved. This case served to exemplify our narrow practice specialty in resettlement processes, alternative dispute resolutions as well as our commitment to ethical, people-centered lawyering.”

Defending Consumer Interests: Resolving an Insurance Contract Claim

A client came to our firm after her claim for property damage was rejected by her insurer resulting from an intense monsoon in Tucson. The insurer grounded the claim denial on an imprecise exclusion of coverage in the policy, putting our client at risk of incurring a substantial financial loss.

Murcia & Cuellar’s insurance law team painstakingly analyzed the policy and collected evidence to show that the exclusions did not apply. We started extrajudicial negotiations. Once the insurer declined to settle out of court, we represented our client in a lawsuit. As a result of our arguments, the judge ruled in favor of our client requiring the insurer to pay in full the amount owing on the claim plus interest. The outcome not only returned financial stability to our client but also established a precedent for responsible insurance practices throughout the region.

Foreign Corporate Compliance: Safeguarding Expansion into Latin America

“A Latin American telecommunications company needed to set up operations in the United States, and therefore sought reliable counsel to handle all legal matters necessary for business, technical, administrative and contractual compliance with federal and state regulations. To address all of the legal and regulatory compliance requirements, the Murcia & Cuellar Legal Consultants cross-practice team focused on telecommunications, business law and administrative law.

We assisted in the setup and incorporation of the client’s business, including obtaining all relevant licenses from the Federal Communications Commission and entering into legal contracts with local service providers. Our forward thinking legal planning allowed the company to successfully commence its U.S. operations on time and without any regulatory issues, and provided it with a firm, reliable and transparent business operation in full compliance with the FCC’s rules. The client continues to benefit from our ongoing legal advice on regulatory compliance matters as it seeks to operate in this dynamic regulatory environment.”

Family Law: Ensuring the Best Interests of the Vulnerable in a Contested Divorce

“A high-net-worth client came to us for help with a contentious divorce that included, among other matters, custody battles, complex real estate holdings and assets of significant value. Cross-border interests and business assets added even more complexity to the case.

Our family law group took a delicate but strategic approach to the case. We stood by our client’s rights regarding parental interests, obtaining orders of protection where necessary, and engaging forensic accountants for issues related to the valuation and division of assets. After careful negotiations and, when necessary, vigorous litigation, we arrived at a settlement that protected our client’s children’s best interest – and financial interests. This is one example of our comprehensive – and client-minded – civil and family law approach.”

Public Tender Success: Winning an Esteemed Contract for a Construction Company

“A mid-sized Tucson based construction company retained Murcia & Cuellar to represent it in a public bidding process for a multimillion dollar municipal infrastructure construction project. The client faced issues with bid specifications, compliance documents, proposals for disqualification and competitive protest submissions by competing bidders.

Murcia & Cuellar administrative law attorneys reviewed all the tender requirements and prepared the bid. We then prepared responses to contract potential disqualification grounds and represented the client at review hearings where we rebutted all unwarranted objections by other bidders. Our client obtained the contract which will be a significant expansion of their business. We used our experience in navigating public and private bid processes to create an excellent, compliant outcome for this matter.”

Alternative Dispute Resolution: Mediating a Cross-Border Business Dispute

Two international joint venture partners faced a contractual dispute that threatened to dissolve their partnership and wind down their business, resulting in significant losses. The parties sought resolution outside of traditional litigation methods in order to maintain the business relationship between them.

Murcia & Cuellar mediated an initial series of mediation sessions using our bilingual and bicultural lawyers, as well as a firm grasp of the US and Latin American legal systems, to guide the parties to a successful settlement. We revised the language of the initial agreement to a new business understanding and future collaboration to ensure mutually beneficial settlements within the context of ongoing operations.

With this creative approach to dispute resolution, we also avoided costly litigation and maintained an ongoing international business partnership.
