OMG is widely known in the market for its strategic focus and is unique in this regard in the Dominican Republic.  As such, clients seek counsel from the firm for legal planning, determining strategy for the implementation and negotiation of their matters (entrusting OMG for project management as well as fiscal matters in their entirety), skillfulness in negotiations with stakeholders, and for proven influence with participants of Government in the country.

The firm's Corporate Commercial Department is best known for its expertise in M&As, Legal Engineering, Business Law, Commercial Law, amongst others.
