ATTORNEY CURACAO

SERVICES

Here’s the list of all our services

Corporate and
Commercial Law

Corporate law forms the legal foundation of a company. It covers the formation of one or more legal entities and the governance of companies at various levels. This includes the rights and obligations of shareholders vis-à-vis the company and each other, as well as the duties and responsibilities of directors and supervisory boards. Mergers and acquisitions are an integral part of this practice area.

Commercial law concerns the legal framework governing a company’s business relationships. It focuses on commercial contracts, services, and sales, as well as product liability, intellectual property, and consumer protection. The drafting, interpretation, and enforceability of general terms and conditions are core aspects of this field.

Real estate and
construction law

The development and exploitation of real estate involve multiple parties with diverse interests. Achieving a commercially sound result requires careful coordination between developers, financiers, contractors, and governmental authorities, all within a complex contractual framework that is often subject to specific regulations, such as UAC-2012.

 Construction projects frequently deviate from original plans and specifications, which can lead to disputes. These disputes often require swift legal action, including summary proceedings before the competent court. We have extensive experience in real estate and construction litigation.

Disputes between owners’ associations and individual property owners—particularly in resort developments on the island—also arise regularly. Association bylaws often provide for substantial penalties or fines, which courts are generally willing to enforce. In these situations, effective legal representation is essential.

Liability law





In modern society, both individuals and businesses may incur liability in a wide range of circumstances. Liability can arise from statutory law or contractual obligations. Everyday activities—such as driving a car or providing professional services—may give rise to claims.

 In addition, strict liability regimes apply in certain situations, for example to producers of goods or employers. Issues such as hidden defects in real estate or malfunctioning machinery can also result in disputes. Whether you are facing a claim or seeking compensation for damage suffered, we are prepared to represent your interests decisively, both in and out of court.

Tax law

“Nothing is certain except death and taxes,” as Benjamin Franklin famously observed. Almost every business or personal decision has tax consequences. Understanding these consequences in advance allows you to make informed choices and explore lawful alternatives.

 We advise on local and Dutch tax law for both individuals and enterprises, including corporate taxation, personal income tax, and estate planning aimed at minimizing inheritance tax. Certain entities may benefit from tax exemptions or favorable regimes, depending on your objectives. We encourage clients to seek advice early, so opportunities can be identified and risks managed effectively.

Financial Criminal Law (White-Collar Crime)

We specialize in financial criminal law, with a strong focus on white-collar crime. We advise and defend companies, directors, professionals, and individuals in matters involving allegations such as fraud, embezzlement, corruption, money laundering, and other economic offenses. Our assistance includes representation during criminal investigations, interaction with prosecuting authorities and regulators, and defense in criminal proceedings before the courts. We understand the legal, financial, and reputational impact of such cases and provide discreet, thorough, and determined representation at every stage.
