DUTCH CARIBBEAN LEGAL PORTAL
Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, St. Maarten, St. Eustatius and Saba
There is a large legal community in the Dutch Caribbean. Until 2007 there was no website with news and general information about the legal system of the Dutch Caribbean, its institutions and its practitioners. Dutch Caribbean Legal Portal aims to fill this void and strives to be the complete database of Legal News, Contacts and Documents for the Dutch Caribbean.
The DC Legal Portal has a wide variety of members and contacts within the legal and financial areas of the Dutch Caribbean. It has a database of more than 400 legal organizations, lawyers and associations, trusts and other legal & financial institutions in the Dutch Caribbean. On the Portal under “Law firms and services” you will find addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and sometimes additional information of these organizations.
The Portal also provide the latest news, background information, a databank with laws and ordinances and the agenda of the Court of Justice. The Portal continuously tries to expand the different fields on which information is offered and keep all the information duly updated.
Obviously, this website is distinguishing, because it is the only website offering this type of information. In addition, the Portal continuously tries to expand the different fields on which information is offered and keep all the information duly updated. The main purpose is to provide information to the visitors about the legal system of the Dutch Caribbean and the organizations that are working with this system.
The site is aimed at national and international organizations and individuals. In order to give access to a broad audience, the language of the site is English. However it may occur that some of the laws and documents you find on the site are in Dutch, since this is the official language of Curacao.
The website is owned by profit and non profit legal organizations on Curacao. The editors and webmaster act independently.
