Fiddler, González & Rodríguez, P.S.C. is a full-service law firm with deep market knowledge and insights geared towards maximizing value to its clients. As a dynamic, modern legal organization, Fiddler is equipped with the resources, experience and know-how that enables its attorneys to deliver practical and results-oriented services uniquely tailored to our clients’ needs.
Since its founding in 1933, Fiddler has grown steadily on a course paralleling or exceeding that of Puerto Rico’s economy. Fiddler was conceived as the first full-service legal organization in Puerto Rico, at a time when the island’s economy was based largely on agriculture, mainly sugar. Puerto Rico underwent a rapid development into an industrialized economy, and Fiddler maintained its development on par.
From textile manufacturing to pharmaceuticals, from urban development to energy, Fiddler has always been at the forefront of the needs of our clients growing and adapting as they require. The largest multi-party, multi-jurisdictional damages litigation related to Puerto Rico, as well as the largest alternative energy projects, were successfully handled by Fiddler’s attorneys.
Fiddler has maintained itself as a place where some of the Island’s most incisive legal minds have flourished, and gone on to seats in the Puerto Rico Supreme Court, the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and virtually every area of the Executive.
With a keen sensitivity to Puerto Rico’s changing economy and a well-structured generational transition, which guarantees our tradition of seamless service and leadership, Fiddler lawyers share with their clients the passion and enthusiasm for their businesses. Whether in support of day-to-day matters or when offering timely, industry specific responses to the unpredictable contingencies frequently faced by our clients, Fiddler’s commitment to collaboration and partnering is second to none.
Guided by a thorough understanding of our clients industries and with an 80 year tradition of excellence as one of the largest law firms in the Caribbean and Latin America, we are able to anticipate and tend to their demands to provide creative, practical and cost-efficient approaches and solutions to any legal questions.
Comprised of a team of over 70 first-rate attorneys, Fiddler is aware of the need of creating strong bonds with its clients and becoming trusted advisors to them, available at all times.
We are very proud of our distinguished past, but we have never lost our focus on the present and the future. We will continue to recruit the finest talent, and mentor them to achieve our customary level of excellence.
