Building a business comes with important legal questions, and having access to the right guidance can make a real difference.

On October 17, our corporate and commercial attorney Alejandro J. García Acabá, Esq. represented Estrella, LLC as a mentor at Fase 1’s Speed Mentoring Day for its Gen. 5 startup cohort, sharing his knowledge with small business owners as they work to establish and grow their businesses.

Alejandro worked with entrepreneurs on legal and permitting questions that arise as they start and grow their businesses, sharing practical guidance to help them better understand the requirements and considerations involved.

At Estrella, LLC, our work spans businesses at different stages of growth, from industry leaders and established brands to entrepreneurs bringing new ideas to market. Their needs may differ, but both benefit from practical legal guidance and a clear understanding of what comes next. Supporting entrepreneurs is a natural extension of the work we do every day.

Thank you to Fase 1 for bringing entrepreneurs and professionals together and making conversations like these possible.

There is no doubt AI is changing how companies operate, how legal work gets done, and how organizations navigate the opportunities and risks that come with it.

This Friday, Estrella, LLC Managing Partner Alberto Estrella will join the Legal Panel at the Caribbean AI Summit 2026 to talk about how AI is changing the legal profession and what it means for law firms, attorneys, law students, and clients.

At Estrella, LLC, we are actively exploring and adopting AI and other emerging technologies, while thinking carefully about how these tools can help us work smarter and deliver greater value to our clients. We believe conversations like this are an important part of navigating that change.

We are proud to sponsor the Caribbean AI Summit 2026 and look forward to being part of this important conversation about AI and the future of business and law in Puerto Rico.

Employment issues can arise quickly as a business grows, and getting them wrong can be costly.

That is why Estrella, LLC was proud to participate once again in EnterPRize 2026, Grupo Guayacán’s Annual Entrepreneurship Program, which supports emerging entrepreneurs as they build and grow their businesses in Puerto Rico.

Members of our Estrella LLC Labor & Employment team, Maité Medero Benítez, Eddalee Quiñones-Pedrogo, and Diego Agüeros Jiménez presented a three-hour workshop focused on “Basic Labor Issues for Startups in Puerto Rico 2026" which took place at Fundación Banco Popular and was attended by approximately 40 entrepreneurs.

Putting the right employment practices in place early can help protect the business, its employees, and its future. During the workshop, our team shared practical guidance on some of the key issues entrepreneurs and businesses of all sizes should consider.

What Companies Need to Know as They Build and Grow:

🔹Worker Classification Matters. Understand whether a worker should be classified as an employee or independent contractor. Getting it wrong can create significant liability.
🔹Compliance Starts with the First Hire. Establish proper hiring, onboarding and employment practices from the beginning.
🔹Payroll and Overtime Rules Apply. Understand your obligations related to wages, timekeeping, and overtime.
🔹Know Your Mandatory Benefits. Be aware of which benefits employers are required to provide under Puerto Rico law.
🔹Prevention is Key. Clear policies and practices can help prevent harassment and workplace bullying and provide a framework for addressing concerns.
🔹Handle Discipline and Terminations Carefully. Consistent and well-documented processes can help reduce risk when performance or employment issues arise.

💡 The Key Takeaway: Startups and early-stage companies are not exempt from Puerto Rico’s labor laws. Building sound employment practices early can help prevent costly problems as a business grows.

Thank you to Grupo Guayacán for the opportunity to contribute to EnterPRize 2026 and support the next generation of business leaders in Puerto Rico.

A strong global network is about more than having lawyers in different countries. It’s about building trusted relationships we can rely on when our clients need support across borders.

Last week, our Managing Partner, Alberto Estrella, represented Estrella LLC at the Meritas Law Firms Worldwide Latin America & Caribbean Regional Meeting in Panama City, Panama.

Representatives from 15 countries across the region came together for meaningful discussions on the geopolitical landscape and opportunities in Latin America, navigating uncertainty, the future of legal services in an era of AI and technology, and the growing importance of arbitration in international business.

Just as valuable were the conversations and idea sharing among Meritas members. These relationships give us the opportunity to learn from colleagues across jurisdictions, share perspectives, and collaborate on the challenges our clients are facing.

As the Puerto Rico member firm of Meritas, having trusted legal relationships throughout Latin America and the Caribbean allows us to better serve clients whose business and legal needs extend beyond Puerto Rico. We can connect them with lawyers we know and trust, while working collaboratively to provide a more coordinated experience across jurisdictions.

A special thank you to our Meritas member firm in Panama Alemán, Cordero, Galindo & Lee (Alcogal) and the Meritas staff for hosting a fantastic meeting, and to our Meritas colleagues throughout the region for the continued collaboration and partnership.

We are proud to be part of a global network where strong relationships matter and help us serve our clients better.

Sometimes a passion, or simply the work you do every day, grows into something bigger. At BE Fest 2026 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, entrepreneurs from different industries shared how they came to realize they were actually building a business, and the importance of creating the right foundation to help it grow.

Estrella, LLC corporate and commercial attorney Alejandro J. García Acabá, Esq. added a practical legal perspective, sharing insights during the “Yo no sabía que era emprendedor/a,” or “I Didn’t Know I Was an Entrepreneur,” coffee talk, hosted by Fase 1 and moderated by Wilmer Jobeth Fernández, alongside fellow panelists Carlitos Ruiz Ruiz and Sofia Vegas Goetz.

A few of Alejandro’s key takeaways for entrepreneurs:

🔹 Formalize the business early and choose the right legal structure from the start.
🔹 Put every agreement in writing, from partnerships and vendor relationships to client arrangements.
🔹 Protect your intellectual property and brand, including the ideas, content and identity you are building.
🔹 Keep permits and compliance up to date as the business grows.
🔹 Invest in professional guidance early, particularly at key moments such as forming the business, bringing in partners or negotiating important agreements.
