The General Corporate Department, serves as the axis that integrates the various other departments
of the Firm in the joint management and direction of our clients' diverse
legal needs. It regularly spearheads the Firm's coordinated efforts to
achieve the prompt and successful resolution of legal problems, first by
identifying those areas of the law which require immediate attention and
then by summoning the intervention and participation of specialists from
within the Firm whose talents are best suited to addressing and resolving
specific problems.
This department provides day to day general
corporate advice
to corporations, both large and small. It attends to legal issues
that corporate clients confront in the ordinary course of their business
operations, as well as outside the ordinary course of affairs. It assists
clients in the identification and solution of problem areas, as well as
with the negotiation, drafting, and execution of contracts; in recognizing
potential tax problems or ramifications, and analyzing and resolving
general tax exemption and contractual matters; and finally, in navigating
the complex permitting processes before Commonwealth and federal
governmental agencies. It also introduces clients to the idiosyncrasies of
the Puerto Rican business and legal environment. Frequently, it engages in
lobbying efforts on behalf of the Firm's clients before both the executive
and legislative branches of the Government of Puerto Rico.
The Corporate Department has served as counsel to a
corporate client in the privatization of the San Juan Municipal
Solid Waste Management Authority, a significant endeavor even by
continental United States standards.
This department has also been an active participant
in the legal planning and structuring of various corporate operations,
resulting in the world, continental or regional leadership positions for
some of our corporate institutional clients.
"The General Corporate Department is the
catalyst for fusing the clients' needs with the professional resources
available within the Firm. It is the threshold through which our clients
gain full access to the Firm's panoply of legal services."
