About Me

The trademark name "STILAS" is an acronym for the full name "Strategical Task-force for International Law And Security," now a trade name for its economic security subdivision.



STILAS International Law Services, P.A. (United States) is a professional association, wholly owned and directly supervised by a group of licensed lawyers, each individually licensed in various countries. The attorneys are collectively, additionally and separately licensed as a law firm, by registration under authorizing law, as STILAS International Law Services, P.A. (Panama). That registration serves as an international law firm license, with the additional advantage of direct, personal participation of licensed lawyers from different countries. The firm is thereby authorized to practice international banking and finance law as a foreign law firm in all jurisdictions worldwide.



The subsidiary STILAS Financial Services, S.A. is a licensed financial services institution and licensed underwriting firm and escrow agency, contributing additional capabilities to the practice of the law firm.



Many of the professional services provided consist of law-related services of a non-legal nature, including developing due diligence banking compliance packages, business plan writing, financial underwriting and projections, and planning and facilitation of structured financing transactions. Some of the work consists of legal support services that may be performed by foreign lawyers. Much of the legal work is conducted for the firm on its own behalf, benefiting clients indirectly, by enabling the firm to fulfill certain roles or functions to arrange, facilitate and contribute to financial transactions or results desired by the clients. STILAS does not engage in any form of litigation or representation in court, hearings or other legal proceedings for any clients.



The authorities of STILAS are not based upon a personal license of its President, but rather from the collective licenses of individual shareholder lawyers in multiple countries, supervising as the Board of Directors, led by an attorney of record as the Chairman. Independent outside attorneys at law, specialized legal counsels and law firms are kept on retainer and hired as needed in various countries as subcontractors or project managers as required.



This properly licensed law firm structure, supplemented by a financial services license, is the chosen vehicle for providing services that are traditionally undertaken by unlicensed consultants, as an effective strategy to improve the capabilities, resources, powers and authorities of the firm, optimally positioning it to benefit from closer relations and enhanced cooperation with other licensed firms and financial institutions, in the interests of the clients.



The concept of the firm is to provide centrally managed, integrated professional services. STILAS' combination of legal expertise, due diligence and banking compliance work, economic security investigations and licensed financial services provides hard hitting results for business development, preparation of investment projects, structured collateral project financing, and protection of international investments. The "fixed fee for service" policy means that clients know exactly what services they will get, at exactly what cost, with no uncontrolled billable hours.
