Bazán Cambré & Orts - Law Firm

What Bazán Cambré & Orts - Law Firm does

Bazán Cambré & Orts (BC&O) is an Argentine corporate law firm founded in 1969 through the merger of two predecessor firms (Bazán and Cambré) that had operated independently since 1953. Headquartered in Buenos Aires at Tte. Gral. J. D. Perón 555, the firm employs approximately 21 professionals and operates as an independent partnership owned and managed by its named partners. It serves publicly and privately-held local and multinational companies across diverse sectors, with particular depth in the energy and oil & gas industry (upstream, midstream, downstream), hydrocarbons regulation, and cross-border transactions.

The firm delivers legal services through nine core practice areas: Energy and Oil & Gas, Corporate Law, Contract Law, Administrative Law, Labor and Social Security Law, Judicial Proceedings, Mergers and Acquisitions, Real Estate and Estate Planning, and Financial Law and Foreign Trade. There is no proprietary technology platform; the offering is human-capital-driven professional services provided by partner-led teams. A supplementary monthly regulatory bulletin (Boletín Normativo BC&O) and periodic webinars support client engagement. The firm joined Alliuris Group in 2024 as its exclusive Argentine representative, providing cross-border reach through an international alliance of approximately 25 member firms and 450 lawyers.

BC&O's business model is engagement-based legal services billed on hourly rates or fixed fees (specific pricing is not publicly disclosed), distributed primarily through direct partner-led relationships with corporate clients and referrals. The firm does not have external investors, parent companies, or technology subscriptions. It has no disclosed revenue figures, no funding rounds, and no subsidiaries. Distribution is domestic with cross-border capability delivered via the Alliuris alliance rather than through owned international offices.
