What Is an Argentina CBI Attorney?

The expression "CBI attorney" describes a function rather than a separate profession. In Argentina it is an abogado — a lawyer registered with an Argentine bar — who applies Argentine nationality, migration, administrative and, where needed, corporate law to a foreign client's citizenship by investment project. The attorney's duty is to the client, not to the program.

• Assessing whether the applicant and each family member can meet the legal requirements
• Analysing the legal implications of the investment route before funds are moved
• Conducting legal due diligence on identity, civil status, background and structures
• Organising source-of-funds and source-of-wealth evidence
• Planning apostilles, legalisations and certified translations
• Preparing the file under the rules in force at the time of filing
• Representing the applicant and responding to requests during processing
• Explaining the regulatory and judicial status of the framework

Argentina's framework was introduced by a decree of necessity and urgency, given a procedure by a second decree, and given investment amounts by a Government announcement in October 2026, while its validity was before the Supreme Court. An investor therefore needs someone who can separate the binding rules from announcements and assess the legal risk — which is precisely the lawyer's task. See the current regulatory status.
