We are proudly celebrating 82 years of ARIAS, a journey filled with achievements, milestones that have shaped our history, and a steadfast commitment to supporting you every step of the way into the future.
Our firm was founded in 1942 by Dr. Francisco Armando Arias Sr. in El Salvador, with a vision rooted in the values of honesty, integrity, and professionalism. Over time, under the leadership of his son, our president Armando Arias, we expanded our presence throughout Central America, opening offices in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, and Panama. This growth made us the first law firm in the region to implement the “one-stop-shop” model, offering comprehensive and cosmopolitan legal services.
Throughout our journey, we have been recognized and awarded as the Central American Law Firm of the Year, as well as in various jurisdictions where we operate. These honors are a testament to the dedication and talent of every member of our team, whose hard work and passion have been key to the success we celebrate today.
We are immensely proud of our exceptional team, whose talent, dedication, and commitment enable us to serve clients from diverse and innovative sectors. Their expertise and dedication have been crucial to the success of every project we’ve had the privilege to support.
In the words of our president, Armando Arias, “This anniversary holds special meaning because, over the course of more than eight decades, the legacy of quality and service left to us by our founder has remained unchanged, further strengthened by the enthusiasm and energy of the new generations of lawyers who have made ARIAS their professional home.”
Likewise, Vicente Lines, Regional Managing Partner, emphasizes that:
“There is no better celebration of our anniversary than continuing to serve the interests of our clients in the company of our colleagues and allies. Our firm always celebrates this date to remind ourselves that the constant pursuit of excellence in service is what has led us through the evolution and radical changes that Central America has gone through in these first eighty-two years.â€
