Founder & Managing Partner
Daniel Zahavi
Daniel Zahavi began practicing law in the Netherlands in 1996, moved to Curaçao in 2000 and founded ZL Attorneys at Law in 2003. He is the firm's founder and managing partner.
His practice includes corporate and civil law, contract negotiation and commercial litigation. He assists individuals, business owners and organizations with matters connected to Curaçao and the firm's wider regional and international practice.
Negotiation and commercial disputes
Daniel's work combines advice on agreements and business relationships with representation when disputes arise. The firm's practice serves clients including companies, financial institutions, insurers, pension funds and private individuals.
The appropriate approach depends on the objective, documents and position of the other parties. A negotiated agreement and court proceedings are considered in that context, rather than as automatic alternatives with predetermined outcomes.
