Costa Rica's premier law firm for AI regulation, data privacy, and international real estate — serving global companies, foreign investors, and technology startups operating across Latin America.
Most international companies operating in Costa Rica don't realize they're exposed — until it's too late. AI tools collecting user data, automated decision-making systems, software agreements with no local compliance review: each is a liability waiting to surface. Costa Rica's data protection law (Ley 8968) is actively enforced. GDPR obligations follow your EU operations everywhere. And AI regulation is today's risk, not tomorrow's.
Every AI system that touches personal data or makes automated decisions about people carries regulatory risk under CR and EU law.
Ley 8968 requires explicit consent frameworks, breach protocols, and data transfer restrictions — most companies have none of these.
Maritime zone restrictions, corporate structuring requirements, and title risks catch foreign investors off guard every year.
A fast, focused legal review of your AI tools and processes. Identify compliance gaps before regulators do.
Full audit of your data flows, AI systems, and privacy practices against Ley 8968 and GDPR standards.
Your dedicated Data Protection Officer on retainer. We handle compliance so you can focus on growth.
Acquiring or merging with a tech company? We assess AI-related legal risk before you sign anything.

Company formation, contracts, employment law, and ongoing legal counsel for companies in Costa Rica.
We don't do everything. We do AI Law, Data Privacy, and International Real Estate — exceptionally well. Depth beats breadth when your business is at stake.
Every contract, consultation, and communication delivered in flawless English and Spanish. No translation friction. No miscommunication risk.
Ricardo holds a Google Professional IT Support Certificate alongside his law degree. We understand the technology your business runs on — not just the law around it.
International expertise with deep local knowledge. We know the regulators, the courts, the notarial system, and the coastal zone rules that trip up foreign investors every year.
