Practice Areas
LegalHub RD provides advisory, representation, and legal strategy in public, private, regulatory, asset, and litigation matters. Our practice integrates strategic litigation, public procurement, administrative law, regulated sectors, corporate law, intellectual property, criminal law, asset forfeiture, real estate law, family law, succession law, labor law, and credit recovery. We work with a practical approach, legal judgment, and strategic vision to protect rights, reduce risks, structure critical operations, and resolve complex disputes through effective solutions.
Strategic Litigation and Dispute Resolution
We defend our clients' interests with procedural planning from the outset: clear objectives, case theory, secured evidence, and tactical calendar. We preserve procedural effectiveness through conservatory measures or provisional orders; prioritize efficient outcomes via negotiation, mediation, and conciliation; and initiate litigation or arbitration when strategy demands it. We ensure results through rigorous judgment enforcement and recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards — including cross-border — turning decisions into actual recoveries.
Administrative and Municipal Law (including Public Procurement and PPP)
We structure, defend, and challenge administrative acts and contracts. We prepare administrative appeals and contentious actions with suspension of effects when appropriate. We design and audit procurement processes (TOR/bidding documents, eligibility, offers, challenges, nullities, execution, adjustments/reequilibrium) and structure PPPs with document control, risk matrix, and project governance.
Regulatory Law (Competition/Antitrust, Energy, and Regulated Sectors)
We analyze conduct and transactions involving competition, notify or defend mergers, and manage investigations before the authority. In energy and natural resources (electricity and hydrocarbons), we align projects with technical requirements, grid connection and access, tariffs, and contracts. We assist from day one in obtaining permits, licenses, and authorizations — including environmental aspects — to ensure legality and operational continuity. We operate in telecommunications, financial services, healthcare, waste management, tourism, and free zones, integrating risk assessment, sector compliance, incentives, and proactive dialogue with regulators.
Criminal Law, Economic Criminal Law, and Asset Forfeiture
We represent individuals, companies, and institutional actors in ordinary criminal proceedings, economic criminal cases, complex investigations, complaints, criminal defense, civil party claims, coercive measures, incidental motions, appeals, money laundering, economic crimes, confiscation, seizures, and asset forfeiture. The practice focuses on matters with high legal, financial, reputational, or media sensitivity, integrating evidentiary analysis, procedural strategy, constitutional defense, and coordinated management of criminal, economic, and institutional risks.
Real Estate Law, Family Law, and Successions
We advise and represent clients in real estate, family, and succession matters with financial impact. We handle purchase and sale agreements, boundary surveys, title clearing, partitions, registry disputes, leases, condominiums, family agreements, heir determination, estate division, succession planning, and inheritance disputes. Our approach combines asset protection, conflict prevention, and strategic litigation when disputes have already arisen, seeking efficient solutions in matters where property, family, assets, and generational continuity intersect.
Labor Law and Social Security
We advise and represent employers, executives, and employees in individual and collective labor matters, employment contracts, terminations, employment benefits, claims, internal regulations, disciplinary conflicts, workplace harassment, inspections, labor lawsuits, agreement negotiations, and social security contingencies. The approach combines prevention, proper documentation, strategic conflict management, and defense before administrative or judicial bodies, aiming to reduce financial, reputational, and operational exposure.
Corporate and Transactional Law (M&A, JVs, Reorganizations)
We structure and negotiate complex transactions with risk control: mergers and acquisitions, trust formations, joint ventures, consortia, reorganizations, spin-offs, capital adjustments, and shareholder agreements/governance. We conduct legal and regulatory due diligence and calibrate conditions, representations, and warranties for firm and bankable closings. Integrated compliance: when business requires it, we incorporate clauses and compliance programs (AML/CFT, anti-corruption, conflicts of interest, privacy) and, if necessary, audits and internal investigations to preserve value and avoid contingencies.
Intellectual Property/Copyright, technology and data
We protect and monetize trademarks, works, software, and trade secrets. We implement trademark protection measures (searches, oppositions, cancellations, border measures) and pursue damages claims for infringement or improper use. We negotiate licenses, SaaS, and cloud agreements. We design privacy policies, incident response plans, and data governance frameworks to scale with legal certainty.
Public and Private Debt Recovery Legal recovery of debts, receivables and claims in the Dominican Republic.
We segment portfolios, define collection routes, and negotiate effective agreements. We escalate selective litigation when beneficial and align operations with consumer protection and data privacy regulations to safeguard outcomes and reputation.
Foreign Investment & Relocation
LegalHub RD advises foreign clients, including investors, expatriates, retirees, pensioners, qualifying rentiers, business owners, investment groups and their families seeking to enter, invest or relocate to the Dominican Republic.
We provide legal structuring before clients acquire or sell real estate, apply for Dominican residency, rely on tax incentives, incorporate a company, invest capital, evaluate CONFOTUR benefits, assess Free Zone eligibility, pursue nearshoring opportunities or establish operations in the country.
