THE LAW FIRM
One of the leading full service law firms in the Dominican Republic, Pellerano & Herrera offers legal solutions to its local and international clients in all areas of business. Recognized for providing pragmatic and constructive legal advice, the firm is oriented to identify new opportunities for its clients, designing strategies to give an expedited response to any situation in a proactive manner. Our lawyers are especially recognized for their expertise in the management of complex mergers and project financings. Moreover, the firm typically is involved in all major acquisitions, joint ventures, structured finance, intellectual property, government affairs, and tax planning transactions in the country. We also participate in the entry process to the Dominican Market of important multinational companies, as well as in the international financing of high profile operations, such as the issuance of commercial papers and Soberain bonds in both the American and European markets; we also participated in the registration of the only Dominican company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The firm's litigation practice is positioned as one of the best of the country, with ample experience and skills in the handling of very complicated civil and commercial lawsuits, alternative dispute resolution, business litigation, insurance, and intellectual property litigation. In addition to providing personalized legal advice with the highest standards of quality to our clients, we assist clients with respect to a variety of multilateral and bilateral agreements, including CAFTA (the US Free Trade Agreement with the Dominican Republic and Central America), CARICOM and COTONOU Agreements. Our firm has developed unique strengths, such as having the only complete legal database in the country - containing all legislation, jurisprudence, and precedents of the Supreme Court - for the benefit of our clients, and having a broad publications program to orient investors coming into the country. The firm also owns a Foundation that, on a regular basis, publishes books for legal writers and lawyers and a Collection Company.
