  2. Draft international transactions and file an international lawsuit before the competent Courts (including arbitration).
  3. Interpret the role of the members of the corporate bodies by identifying the duties and rights of all the subjects connected to them (shareholders, statutory auditors, Board of Directors, Supervisory Body).
