Two world-class firms—Dentons, the world’s largest global law firm, and Deloitte Legal, part of the Big Four professional services network—have independently concluded that Próspera ZEDE remains lawfully in force in Honduras. Their opinions converge on a clear point: Próspera’s framework, investor rights, and legal stability provisions continue to apply, notwithstanding domestic litigation or political debate.

Dentons and Deloitte—and why their views matter

• Dentons advises governments and multinational investors across 80+ countries, with deep benches in international law, constitutional litigation, and investor-state arbitration. See Dentons’ assessment here.
• Deloitte Legal combines legal, tax, and regulatory expertise across a global platform, advising cross-border investors on complex structures, compliance, and risk. See Deloitte’s assessment here.

What their analyses say—in plain terms

Both firms emphasize that treaty obligations, vested rights, and legal-stability agreements protect Próspera and its stakeholders. In practice, that means companies and residents operating within Próspera continue to rely on the ZEDE’s enabling framework—including governance, regulatory, and dispute-resolution mechanisms—backed by international law. For investors, founders, and employers, this translates into continuity, predictability, and enforceable protections.

Market signals: capital and credibility
The market is taking note. Coinbase Ventures has invested in Próspera, highlighting the jurisdiction’s relevance for compliant fintech and digital-assets innovation. Venture capitalist Tim Draper has also spotlighted Roatán/Próspera through his entrepreneurial programs, drawing founders and early-stage capital to the island. These are strong, independent signals that sophisticated market actors see long-term potential.

What opportunities does Próspera offer?

• Investment Structuring & Corporate Platforms: Flexible entity types, shareholder agreements, and governance tools grounded in common-law concepts.
• Regulatory Clarity for Innovation: Sandboxes and licensing pathways that support fintech, digital assets, and payments, aligned with global compliance expectations.
• International Tax Planning: Cross-border planning options that, when paired with home-country compliance and substance, can improve after-tax outcomes.
• Nearshoring & Operations: English-speaking talent, proximity to North American markets, competitive costs, and a pro-business environment—ideal for BPO/IT, hospitality, logistics, and light manufacturing.
• Rule-of-Law & Dispute Resolution: Treaty-anchored protections (fair and equitable treatment, compensation standards for takings) and arbitration-ready mechanisms reduce sovereign and political-risk exposure.
