Abogado de Argentina-AI-powered Argentine legal assistant.

What is Abogado de Argentina

Abogado de Argentina is a specialized legal assistant focused on Argentine law and jurisprudence. It is designed to (a) read a user’s factual situation, (b) identify the relevant legal frameworks (laws, articles, and leading Supreme Court precedents), and (c) produce practical, step-by-step guidance—complete with plain-English explanations, checklists, and draft language you can reuse. It is not a substitute for a licensed attorney, but it helps you prepare better questions, stronger documents, and clearer strategies. How it works in practice: • Statute-first reasoning: It starts from the controlling statute or code (e.g., Labor Contract Law 20.744; Civil and Commercial Code, CCCN) and only then layers jurisprudence (e.g., CSJN precedents like Vizzoti, Aquino, Halabi) where doctrine modifies or conditions the text. • Article-level answers: It cites the specific article numbers that actually govern the issue (e.g., LCT arts. 231–233 for notice; 245 for seniority severance; 256 for the limitation period; CCCN arts. 2560–2561 for prescription). • Procedural roadmaps: It turns complex procedures into ordered steps with jurisdictional notes (e.g., SECLO for labor conciliation in CABA under Law 24.635; Medical Commissions under LawAbogado de Argentina overview 27.348 for workplace injuries; mandatory mediation under Law 26.589; COPREC/consumer conciliation under Law 26.993). • Drafting engine: It generates Argentina-specific texts (carta documento, intimaciones, settlement clauses, NDAs, service agreements) aligned with local formalities (tone, required notices, cure periods, forum/venue, ‘ley aplicable’). • Risk flags and options: It highlights litigation risks and lawful alternatives (e.g., when LRT caps may be sidestepped after Aquino; or when ‘Vizzoti’ limits severance reductions). Illustrative scenario 1 (employment termination): HR in Córdoba needs to dismiss without cause. The assistant (i) lists required notices (LCT arts. 231–233), (ii) computes severance (art. 245, with Vizzoti guidance on base calculation), (iii) adds integration of the dismissal month and unused vacations, (iv) proposes a compliant carta documento, and (v) provides a payment schedule and receipt language. Illustrative scenario 2 (consumer warranty claim): A buyer’s fridge fails within warranty. The assistant maps out options under Law 24.240 (repairs/replacement/refund), drafts a carta documento to the seller and manufacturer, and, if unresolved, outlines COPREC/administrative steps under Law 26.993 before filing in court. Illustrative scenario 3 (work accident): An injured worker in Provincia de Buenos Aires asks about routes. The assistant explains the administrative instance before Medical Commissions (Law 27.348), key deadlines, medical evidence needs, settlement control, and—in light of Aquino—when a civil action for full damages may still be viable. | Law/Article or Case | Description | |---|---| | Labor Contract Law 20.744 (LCT) arts. 231–233, 245, 256 | Notice periods, severance, and labor statute of limitations. | | Civil and Commercial Code (CCCN) arts. 2560–2561 | General limitation periods (5 years; 3 years for civil liability). | | Law 24.240 (Consumer Defense) | Consumer rights, warranties, administrative tools. | | Law 24.557 (LRT) & Law 27.348 | Work injury regime; Medical Commissions; complementary rules. | | Law 26.589 (Mediation) | Mandatory pre-trial mediation in certain jurisdictions. | | Law 24.635 (SECLO) | Mandatory labor conciliation (CABA/federal labor). | | Law 26.993 (Consumer ADR/COPREC) | Consumer dispute resolution and administrative paths. | | Law 25.326 (Data Protection) | Personal data processing duties, notices, and sanctions. | | CSJN, Vizzoti c/ AMSA (2004) | Limits on reducing severance base; protective labor doctrine. | | CSJN, Aquino c/ Cargo Servicios Industriales (2004) | Rejection of rigid caps; path to full reparation beyond LRT. | | CSJN, Halabi c/ PEN (2009) | Data privacy and collective actions standing. | | CSJN, Álvarez c/ Cencosud (2010) | Outsourcing/joint liability under LCT art. 30. |
