Strategic Legal Guidance in Ecuador
Imperium Dei provides carefully prepared, personalized legal assistance for clients in Ecuador and abroad, accompanying each matter from the first review through every stage of the process.
How we can help
Legal support for three different situations
Every situation calls for its own legal reading. These are the three areas on which we concentrate our attention, while continuing to handle the rest of our practice areas.
Ecuadorians abroad
We handle matters in Ecuador for people living outside the country: representation by power of attorney, family procedures, estates, property, documents and ongoing proceedings, without the need to travel.

Why Imperium Dei
Legal rigour with a human approach
A strategy for each matter
No matter is resolved with a template. We study the facts, the available evidence and the applicable rules before proposing a course of action.
Timely action
In legal matters, deadlines are decisive. Acting in good time can prevent more serious consequences and widen the alternatives that remain available.
Clear guidance
We explain the real state of the matter, the possible options and their risks in plain language, so that every decision is made with sufficient information.
Ethics and confidentiality
Each client’s information is handled with professional discretion and ethical responsibility at every stage of the work.
Institutional specialty
Foundations, associations and churches
We accompany the formation, regularization and legal operation of foundations, associations, churches, ministries and nonprofit organizations: bylaws, registration before the competent authority, governing bodies, amendments, periodic obligations and documentary order.
This is work that requires knowing both the applicable law and the institutional reality of each organization.
We assist with
- Formation and obtaining legal personality
- Drafting and amendment of bylaws
- Regularization of existing organizations
- Registration of boards and governing bodies
- Compliance with obligations before the competent authority
- Ongoing legal advice for the organization
