McConnell Valdés LLC, the largest law firm in Puerto Rico, has expanded its operations by establishing an office in Miami.

With this, McV

we’re more than legal advisors. We work together with clients, becoming their
partners and focusing on their business success. Our commitment to clients has
been instrumental in achieving  over
seventy years of continued achievements,” said
Arturo García-Solá, managing director of McConnell Valdés.

“Today, we
continue adapting this vision and our way of doing business as we move forward.
Opening the Miami office is a direct reflection of this philosophy,” he said.
