Helping Foreign and Domestic Businesses Buy and Sell High-Value Assets in Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico, which is a part of the United States, but is generally treated as a foreign jurisdiction for U.S. tax purposes, is home to many Fortune 500 companies. We have helped our clients with mergers, acquisitions and sales of businesses in Puerto Rico, including as lead counsel for several of the largest local transactions, and as Puerto Rico counsel for some of the largest international transactions.

We conduct comprehensive due diligence prior to a merger or acquisition.

We work hard to negotiate the most favorable contract terms for you. For more information please contact Adsuar Muñiz Goyco Seda & Perez-Ochoa, P.S.C. today.
