Akerman will host a breakfast program for investors, developers, and advisors interested in learning more about the current economic situation in Puerto Rico. Akerman lawyers Rogelio Carrasquillo,
Pedro Freyre,
Alejandro García-Villalpando, and
Michael Bailkin will provide an overview of recent developments affecting the economy of Puerto Rico and discuss various tax and economic incentives available on the island for businesses, high-net-worth individuals, and investors. The discussion will include information about recently enacted laws that provide significant incentives for entities that relocate to Puerto Rico and incentives to entities that export their services to resident investors located in Puerto Rico. In addition, the conversation will address other economic incentives for tourism, manufacturing, and renewable energy, as well as how non-U.S. residents may benefit from these incentives, including foreign investors in the EB-5 program.
