Experienced Counsel in Administrative Agency Proceedings in Puerto Rico
Our firm has significant experience representing clients in a wide range of administrative agency proceedings in Puerto Rico. As many major regulatory and compliance issues are now resolved at the administrative level, we assist clients in navigating complex matters such as license and permit applications, regulatory enforcement actions, and consumer and construction claims. We provide strategic guidance and representation in proceedings involving fines, assessments, penalties, and other critical administrative decisions.
Representation Before Key Government Agencies
Our attorneys regularly appear before numerous Puerto Rico government agencies, including the Puerto Rico Treasury Department, the Department of Economic Development and Commerce (DDEC), the Office of Permits Management (OGPE), the Planning Board, the Department of Consumer Affairs (DACO), the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (DRNA), the Department of Health, the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions, the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance, , the Puerto Rico Aqueducts and Sewer Authority, the Puerto Rico Department of State, and municipal agencies and administrative bid boards. We represent clients across a range of regulated industries, including energy, healthcare, tourism, construction, consumer goods, real estate, among others.
Judicial Review of Administrative Decisions
Our administrative law practice extends beyond agency proceedings to include judicial review before the Puerto Rico Court of Appeals and the Puerto Rico Supreme Court. When necessary, we pursue, or defend, against challenges to administrative rulings or request for proposals (RFP) procedures to ensure that our clients’ rights are fully protected under Puerto Rico law. By combining deep regulatory knowledge with litigation experience, we deliver comprehensive support in even the most complex administrative matters.
