DLA Piper is the only major global law firm with an established office in Puerto Rico.

Since the opening of our San Juan office in 2016, we have deepened our commitment to Puerto Rico and have helped signal to the global business community that Puerto Rico is open for business and has tremendous potential for growth and development.

The San Juan-based attorneys are bilingual and bicultural, virtually all holding an undergraduate or law degree from a US-based institution.

Several are admitted in New York, and some began their legal careers in major New York law firms. As such, they are an excellent resource for international transactions involving Latin America.

The San Juan office handles all types of corporate and commercial transactions (eg, M&A, finance, real estate, fund formation, and environmental), as well as tax, litigation, and labor and employment issues.

Following is a summary of these practices as well as our San Juan attorneys’ significant recent transactions.
