Blanche | Intellectual Property & Entertainment Law

The Firm

Where Creativity Meets Legal Strategy

Founded by Ana Carolina Blanco Hache, Blanche was born from years of providing legal and accounting advisory to national and international film productions under the Dominican Republic's Law 108-10 for the Promotion of Cinematographic Activity.

After years of experience supporting audiovisual productions, brands, and cultural projects, we expanded our scope to encompass corporate law, technology, and real estate—while keeping the protection of talent, innovation, and creative industries at our core. Based in Santo Domingo and serving clients across the Caribbean and Latin America, we integrate innovation, legality, and creativity into every engagement.

“We accompany companies, artists, producers, and entrepreneurs from the conception of their projects through execution—guaranteeing legal security, efficiency, and strategic vision.”

Our vision is to become one of the leading firms in the Caribbean and Latin America in intellectual property, entertainment, and new technologies—recognized for professional excellence, ethical commitment, and capacity for legal innovation.
