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
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 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.
Contract law
Verbal agreements are legally valid, but their contents can be difficult to prove. We therefore strongly recommend written agreements that are tailored to your specific situation. Well-drafted contracts clarify rights and obligations, allocate risks appropriately, and help prevent future conflicts. We are happy to assist you in negotiating and drafting practical, effective agreements.
Tax law
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.
