Civil Contracts and Commercial Contracts
We draft and review civil and commercial contracts with a preventive and strategic approach. We help you formalize clear, balanced agreements that comply with current legislation in the Dominican Republic.
We work with:
Contracts between individuals
Contracts between individuals require clear, specific, and well-founded wording to avoid misunderstandings or conflicts. At EMC, we draft contracts for personal loans, sales, transfers of rights, service agreements, and any other type of legal relationship between individuals, protecting the interests of both parties and ensuring their legal validity in the Dominican Republic.
Business-to-business contracts (B2B)
In business-to-business relationships, every clause matters. We draft and review B2B contracts with legal precision, covering key aspects such as payment terms, product delivery, penalties, dispute resolution, intellectual property, and confidentiality. We ensure that your company is protected at all times against contractual breaches or omissions.
Mixed or collaboration contracts
There are contracts that combine civil and commercial elements, or that formalize complex collaborations between parties with diverse interests. At EMC, we have experience drafting mixed or collaborative contracts, such as joint ventures, strategic alliances, cooperation agreements, or co-investment agreements. We offer contractual solutions tailored to the specific needs of each project.
Construction contracts
We draft construction contracts that clearly establish the obligations of the parties, the scope of work, deadlines, guarantees, penalties, and payment terms. Our involvement ensures that the agreement complies with Dominican regulations and minimizes legal, technical, or economic risks during the execution of the project.
Service contracts
We advise on the drafting and review of contracts for the provision of professional, technical, or commercial services. We establish clear terms regarding duration, payment conditions, confidentiality, compliance, and early termination, tailored to the economic activity and type of supplier involved.
Promissory sale agreements and purchase option agreements.
We draw up preliminary sales agreements and purchase options to ensure legal certainty during the process leading up to a sale. These documents set out essential conditions such as price, deadlines, exclusivity, and consequences of non-compliance, providing protection for both the buyer and the seller until the final contract is signed.

Lease agreement for movable property
We draft contracts for the leasing of movable property, such as vehicles, electronic equipment, machinery, furniture, or other transportable assets. At EMC, we take care of all the key aspects: responsibility for use, damage, duration, price, return conditions, and associated insurance. These types of contracts are common in business, commercial, and logistics environments.
Contract for the deposit and custody of goods
We offer advisory services on deposit and custody agreements, regulating the relationship between the depositor and the custodian. We draft agreements that clearly establish the deposited item, the place and conditions of storage, the return deadlines, limitations of liability, and mechanisms in case of loss or damage. This is especially useful for warehouses, transportation, banking, logistics, or fiduciary services in Santo Domingo.
A well-drafted lease agreement can prevent future conflicts. At EMC, we draft clear, balanced contracts that are tailored to the Dominican reality.

We perform contractual due diligence to identify hidden risks, unfair terms, or regulatory contradictions before signing or entering into contractual commitments.
Ideal for:
Investment contracts
We review and advise on contracts for the sale of shares, equity interests, going concerns, or specific assets. These types of contracts often include complex clauses on valuations, hidden liabilities, conditions precedent, and non-competition agreements. Our team identifies risks and protects our clients’ interests throughout the purchase or sale process.
Contracts for mergers and acquisitions
The merger or acquisition of companies involves multiple legal documents that must be thoroughly reviewed. At EMC, we specialize in reviewing M&A contracts, verifying aspects such as share distribution, business continuity, regulatory compliance, and future liabilities. We ensure that each agreement is aligned with Dominican commercial law and the objectives of the transaction.
Contracts for strategic alliances
When two companies decide to collaborate strategically, it is essential that the partnership agreement is well defined. We draft and review joint venture agreements or collaboration agreements, regulating contributions, responsibilities, rights to profits, use of trademarks, and exit mechanisms.
