Legal Counsel in Aruba
Doing business, resolving a dispute, or navigating government in Aruba? ZL Attorneys is your firm on the ground.
Aruba is one of the Caribbean’s most welcoming islands — but as a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, it runs on Dutch civil law, its own currency, and its own courts. That landscape rewards those who know it from the inside. That’s where we come in.
Local knowledge, in your language
For decades our attorneys have worked within Aruban law — not from a distance, but with a practical command of how things actually get done here. And we speak your language, literally: our team is fluent in Papiamentu, Dutch, Spanish, and English, so nothing is lost in translation.
How we help you in Aruba
Government & regulation. Aruba’s parliamentary system produces decisions and rules that can make or break a project. Our governmental matters and administrative law teams help you engage the authorities with confidence — and challenge a decision when you need to.
Banking & finance. Between the Aruban florin (AWG) and the widely used US dollar, the island’s financial system has its quirks. Our banking law specialists know them intimately and keep your transactions moving.
Employment & labor. From tourism and aloe to petroleum transshipment and offshore banking, Aruba’s economy runs on people. Whether you’re the employer or the employee, our employment law and labor law teams protect your position.
Maritime. With three major ports — Barcadera, Oranjestad, and San Nicolas — the sea is central to Aruba’s economy. Our maritime law practice covers it all, from shipping to port matters.
Litigation. When a dispute reaches the Joint Court of Justice of Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, you want seasoned advocates. Our litigation team has handled every kind of case — and we’re ready for yours.
