Legal Expertise Meets Global Outlook

In the dynamic world of international legal consulting, Alburquerque Abogados has established itself as one of the leading law firms in the Caribbean. With its headquarters in the Dominican Republic, the firm has been a symbol of legal excellence, strategic advice, and cultural sensitivity for over four decades – serving both international businesses and demanding individuals.

A key figure in this success story is Attorney Gina Hernández Vólquez, a partner who not only brings deep legal expertise but also plays a crucial role in the firm’s international expansion.

„Our goal is to provide more than just legal services – we offer guidance, clarity, and real solutions,“ says Hernández Vólquez. Together with an interdisciplinary team, she delivers holistic advice characterized by legal depth, economic understanding, and cultural sensitivity.

Broad Expertise – A Strong Foundation for Complex Mandates

Alburquerque Abogados covers a wide range of legal fields at the highest level. Key areas of focus include:

• Corporate and Commercial Law

• Labor and Social Security Law

• Tax and Duties Law

• Real Estate and Environmental Law

• Compliance, Investment Protection, and International Contracts

What sets the firm apart is its ability to implement complex legal structures in a practical manner. An example of this is the assistance provided to a German start-up in the renewable energy sector. The firm supported the start-up in establishing a subsidiary in Santo Domingo, handling everything from legal structuring and license acquisition to tax optimization and negotiations with local authorities – a full-service approach that fosters trust.

Businesses from sectors such as energy, banking, telecommunications, and technology particularly appreciate the efficiency and practicality of the firm’s legal work. Complex issues are not only addressed legally but also solved in a business-savvy manner.

The International Advantage – TerraLex Makes It Possible

Joining the renowned TerraLex network has strategically strengthened Alburquerque Abogados. This network connects over 130 leading firms in more than 100 countries – a significant advantage for clients with cross-border legal needs.

Whenever an international touchpoint, as defined under Article 2 of the German Civil Code (EGBGB), is involved – such as through the company’s location, contracting parties, or place of performance – an in-depth understanding of both legal systems is required. This is where Alburquerque Abogados excels, offering integrated solutions that comply with both the legal framework of the Dominican Republic and European compliance requirements.

Reliable Values as a Daily Standard

Beyond legal quality, Alburquerque Abogados places great importance on internal values. Integrity, ethics, and transparency are not just buzzwords but are deeply embedded in the firm’s daily operations. The six guiding principles are:

• Integrity

• Innovation

• Excellence

• Ethics

• Commitment

• Transparency

These values are not only reflected in the work with clients but also shape the firm’s culture. Particularly notable is the firm’s commitment to diversity and inclusion, which not only holds societal relevance but also improves legal quality. Studies from Germany have shown that diverse teams respond faster to complex requirements and make better decisions – a success factor that Alburquerque Abogados has consciously promoted for years.

Technological Innovation as a Strategic Advantage

Alburquerque Abogados does not view digitalization as a threat but as an opportunity. The firm has integrated modern digital solutions into its daily operations early on, including:

• Document management systems

• Digital deadline and workflow tools

• Secure client portals for real-time access

“Digitalization does not mean dehumanization but precision,” says Gina Hernández Vólquez. Clients benefit from faster processes, greater transparency, and better planning.

Another highlight is the use of Legal Project Management (LPM). Similar to international business law firms, complex mandates are divided into project phases, budgets, and outcome goals. For companies, this means more cost certainty, structured communication, and transparent processes.

For example, a Bavarian trading company was able to save more than 30% of usual advisory costs during a company acquisition in the Dominican Republic – without compromising quality or results.

Gina Hernández Vólquez – Legal Leadership with Empathy and Vision

Attorney Gina Hernández Vólquez embodies the modern, international, and solution-oriented approach of Alburquerque Abogados. As a partner at the firm, she specializes in corporate law, investment protection, and international contract negotiations.

She is regarded as an important interface between Anglo-Saxon and continental European legal understandings, regularly assisting international companies with their market entry into the Caribbean.

Her clients appreciate not only her legal expertise but also her reliability, communication skills, and strategic foresight.

“Law must be accessible, understandable, and useful,” says Hernández Vólquez – a guiding principle that is reflected in every mandate.

A Partner with Vision for German Companies

An increasing number of German companies are recognizing the opportunities in Caribbean and Latin American markets. However, investments in new markets come with significant risks without an experienced partner by their side. This is where Alburquerque Abogados steps in: legal certainty, cultural understanding, and business thinking are brought together as one.
