Duval & Stachenfeld LLP announced on Tuesday (24) the launch of its Caribbean/Central America Real Estate Practice Group.

The group will be co-chaired by real estate partners Tom O’Connor and Alan Cohen.

“Our Firm has long been active in the Caribbean and Central American regions, so establishing this practice is a natural extension of our Real Estate Practice Group,” said Terri L. Adler, chair of the Real Estate Practice Group.

Added Bruce M. Stachenfeld, co-founder and managing partner, “We recognized that handling transactions in the Caribbean and Central America have been a significant part of our practice for many years. Committing the Firm’s resources to focus on these areas allows us to provide an exceptional work product and value for our clients.”

Duval & Stachnfeld’s real estate attorneys have particular expertise assisting clients who are investing, owning and/or developing hospitality, retail, office, industrial and mixed-use assets throughout the Caribbean and Central America. The firm’s partners have handled billions of dollars of transactions in Puerto Rico, including some of the largest real estate transactions in Puerto Rico’s history.

It is estimated that partners at Duval & Stachenfeld have handled well over a hundred real estate transactions throughout the Caribbean and Central America. In addition, Duval & Stachenfeld has broad and deep connections with leading local law firms, which enables it to quarterback transactions in such jurisdictions. PHOTO: TERRI ADLER
