Hi, I am an attorney from the United States who is currently representing clients in connection with the acquisition of a sizable company in the Dominican Republic. I am having a terrible experience with the lawyer I am currently using and am looking for a new attorney. I would appreciate if anyone has any suggestions as to a capable attorney preferably in the Santo Domingo area. The criteria I am looking for are as follows:
1) Must be fluent in English;
2) Must be accessible and responsive;
3) Must be familiar with Business Acquisitions;
4) Must be familiar with Corporate Law;
5) Must be familiar with Environmental Law and/or have ready access to an Environmental attorney;
6) Must have familiarity with international tax implications, offshore companies etc. and/or have access to a tax expert (an attorney, not an accountant; no offense but every accountant I met with that was supposed to be able to advise me was regarding these matters were pretty much clueless when it came to these matters).
Also, what is a reasonable rate to pay for a highly regarded experienced Dominican Republic attorney?
Thanks for your anticipated Help.
