Nuestra Escuela signed a collaborative agreement with Pro-Bono, Inc. to offer free legal services to students, families, and the community in Caguas [^1].

The school-based partnership covers Caguas and targets the community directly tied to the institution. The filing does not specify the agreement's start date or the particular areas of law the pro-bono group will handle [^1].

The agreement operates within a broader legal framework that shapes how professional services function on the island. Under Act 60, export services carry 15-year terms with a possible renegotiation for an additional 15 years [^3]. These export services include consulting, marketing, financial advising, and other knowledge-based services [^2]. To qualify, a service must be provided for the benefit of a foreign person, a trust with non-resident beneficiaries, a succession with non-resident individuals, or a person doing business in Puerto Rico where the service has no nexus with Puerto Rico and the client is outside the island [^4]. Businesses that provide these export services to clients outside Puerto Rico are exempt from local licensing requirements for professional services, provided the services are not provided to domestic persons [^5]. A business with an annual volume over $3M needs at least one full-time equivalent employee for export services, three for manufacturing, while other activities do not require job creation [^6].
