Jorge Monastersky is a lawyer who earned a doctorate in Judicial and Social Sciences graduated from UMSA. He stayed on for further studies in Procedural Criminal Law, Criminalistics, and Legal Medicine (U.P.F.A.) after graduation, and training in business and media. He is consulted on a daily basis by national and international media, and has been giving legal advice and customized solutions about crisis management in different legal areas to companies for more than 20 years.
Based in Argentina and having representation in the United States of America, Uruguay and Spain, the law firm Monastersky & Advocates is specialized in crisis management and strategies development to deal with them. It has an interdisciplinary team of professionals to give the best solution to every controversy, for which it has been recognized as a successful law firm in several leading cases: case studies that even today are consulted by the justice and in different professional environments.
Corporations, Non-profit organizations, NGOs, and high-profile people trust Monastersky & Advocates for far-reaching crisis management.
In a strategic association with traditional and digital media, the law firm transmits the message and the truth in every case in the right place.
The relationship between the client and his lawyer is based upon trust: the former shares issues, viewpoints and worries with the latter that are far beyond the right to defence. Monastersky & Advocates honours that privacy and gives the necessary accompaniment in each case.
The search for the truth cannot be done at any price or by any means. The relationship between the professional and the client is to be built in the context of absolute discretion. Trust is the key for the fulfilment of the right to defence; the accused’s right is recognized when he interacts through his lawyer without third parties involved.
One of the core principles of the legal profession is the professional secret, the cornerstone of a lawyer's work and from which he can only be exempted from by his client.
The law firm won several leading cases; rulings that had never been achieved before and in different areas.
Jorge Monastersky is the lawyer who obtained the first sentence inducing the National State to cover the gastric bypass for a person suffering from obesity. After that historical event – which set a landmark in the frame of the Latin American case-law -, he championed and promoted the Law of Obesity, which would democratize the access to surgical interventions and treatments for patients with eating disorders.
A judge sentenced a Twitter user who had an account to libel a businessman – who she did not even know- and accused him of a crime he had not committed. Jorge Monastersky defended the victim and obtained a unique and unprecedented ruling: the user’s conviction.
Amid the pandemic and much uncertainty due to COVID-19, the law firm oversaw a legal sentence in favour of a Malvinas’ veteran- oncological patient- to whom the State was depriving of the second dose of the vaccines. Jorge Monastersky’s defence was able to expeditiously get the injunction forcing the national administration to supply the vaccine for the patient.
