Chambers & Legal 500 ranked — environmental + development permitting
Development-side law firm operating since 2010 under the Eco Urban Law brand, ranked by both Chambers and Partners and The Legal 500 in Real Estate & Tourism and in Environment — the practice most Dominican firms do not have. Six practice areas: environment, tourism and hospitality, urban planning and land development, mining and natural resources, construction and real estate, and corporate services. Managing partner Romina Santroni and partner Guily Shemer are individually ranked by Chambers in both categories; Shemer runs the Punta Cana desk covering Punta Cana, Macao, Miches and Nisibon.
