Buried under more than $70 billion in debt, Puerto Rico isn’t poised to emerge from its financial crisis anytime soon. Some lawyers in the country hope that will translate into steady work in the years to come.
This week DLA Piper announced that it has set up shop in San Juan, bringing on four local partners who specialize in corporate and securities transactions, public finance and corporate reorganizations. The firm said that it believes it is the first full-service Am Law 100 firm to establish a physical office in Puerto Rico.
