New Regulation Allowing the Transformation of Standard Companies

On February 11, 2025, the General Inspectorate of Justice of the City of Buenos Aires (“IGJ”) published General Resolution No. 5/2025 (the “Resolution”) in the Official Gazette. Through this measure, the conversion of companies established under the structures provided in Chapter II of Law No. 19.550 (such as corporations and limited liability companies, among others), as well as simplified joint-stock companies, into structures covered under Section IV of Chapter I of the same law, is authorized.

According to the provision, this mechanism not only improves the internal organization and operation of companies but also expands the options available for entrepreneurs seeking legal structures better suited to their needs and objectives.

With the publication of this regulation, the IGJ has established the conditions and procedures that must be followed to formalize such conversions.

This provision will come into effect on February 19, 2025.
