About WD & Associés

WD Associés is an international services and support firm based in Paris, specialising in relations between Europe and Latin America. We assist companies, investors and athletes with their international projects, whether they are seeking to develop a business, manage a complex situation, resolve a dispute or carry out procedures in France and abroad. We are particularly active in business, sports, estates and inheritances, debt recovery and the recovery of pension benefits for footballers in Europe. When a matter requires legal services, these are provided and billed directly by Miguel Ángel Dávila or by another independent lawyer retained by the client. WD Associés limits its role to facilitating coordination and introductions, without directly providing or billing for legal services.
