Attorney Ambar Diaz holds a Juris Doctorate both from the University of Havana in Cuba and the University of Miami in Florida. She practiced law in Cuba before immigrating to the United States. She is also licensed as an attorney in Florida. Our firm focuses in assisting individuals and businesses immersed in Cuban and American matters. We are perfectly positioned to advise these individuals and businesses navigating the complex U.S. and Cuban laws dealing with the Cuban embargo and immigration matters. Our nationwide practice assists clients throughout the United States and the rest of the world to successfully conduct business in Cuba.
At The Forefront of Change
For the past 10 years we have successfully represented individuals and businesses to navigate the murky waters of the U.S.-Cuba relations. Until now, U.S. law permitted limited activities dealing with Cuba under very strict limits and regulations. President Obama's announcement on December 17, 2014 as to the reinstatement of diplomatic relations between Cuba and the United States certainly sparked both nations' dreams and ambitions toward the future.
We have already assisted several businesses to conduct business in Cuba, both by obtaining the required licenses and authorizations from the Office of Foreign Assets Control and the U.S. Department of Commerce, and also by advising them as to how to do business and conduct themselves while in Cuba. Our firsthand knowledge of Cuban culture, laws, institutions and people allows us to provide comprehensive advice that often goes beyond legal matters.
Ambar Diaz has extensive experience with Cuban and American commercial regulations. To discuss how our firm can assist you in your personal and commercial matters, call us today at (305) 476-8100, email us directly, or use our contact form and we will communicate with you as soon as possible.
Pursuing Commercial Ventures In Cuba
We are constantly testing the limits of the U.S. embargo on Cuba by requesting licenses for new activities, not undertaken before such as export licenses from the U.S. Department of Commerce to allow U.S. businesses to act as purchasing agents and shippers for foreign embassies in Cuba. We also constantly keep on top of new regulations and interpretations of the laws to help our clients to broaden the scope of their commercial activities in Cuba.
However, it is paramount to our practice to make sure our clients are in full compliance with U.S. laws to prevent them from being the subject of federal investigations, or worse, from receiving heavy fines for violating the embargo.
We have obtained several travel service provider, carrier service provider and remittance forwarder licenses authorizing our clients to provide travel and money transfer services to Cuba. We have also obtained several people-to-people licenses, authorizations for public performances of U.S. artists in Cuba, licenses for humanitarian, and religious projects to help the Cuban people, licenses for the export of donations, food, medicines and medical supplies to Cuba.
