Lexincorp El Salvador was initially established in 1988 as Tenorio & Escobar, after its two founding partners, Mr Eduardo Tenorio and Mr Enrique Escobar. Both of them continue as senior partners of the firm, and in 2003 the firm, for its positive development, merged with other partners in the Central American Region to create Lexincorp, one of the few truly regional law firms in Central America with fully operating and well-established offices in Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and El Salvador.
