AREAS OF PRACTICE
Costa Rican Free Trade Zones
We empower multinational and national companies operating in Costa Rica’s Free Zones with expert regulatory advice and strategic guidance, ensuring efficient and successful operations.
We advise companies throughout the full Free Zone lifecycle—from application and approval processes with PROCOMER and COMEX, to site development, operational startup, and ongoing compliance with the Free Zone Regime. Our team navigates the legal and regulatory framework with precision, minimizing risks and optimizing timelines to meet business objectives.
Our services include structuring investment vehicles, drafting and reviewing supplier and service contracts, and advising on import/export processes, labor matters, and corporate governance under Free Zone regulations. We work closely with tax, customs, and environmental authorities to ensure that our clients operate with full legal certainty and benefit from all available incentives.
Whether our clients are new investors entering Costa Rica or established companies expanding operations, we act as strategic partners—aligning legal strategy with business goals, identifying risks early, and ensuring that regulatory compliance supports long-term success in one of the region’s most competitive business environments.
Over the years, we have advised leading multinational corporations in sectors such as advanced manufacturing, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, technology, and logistics. Our firm has supported the establishment and expansion of Free Zone operations for globally recognized companies, ensuring they meet all regulatory milestones efficiently while maintaining strict compliance with local and international standards.
Our track record includes working hand-in-hand with Free Zone parks, real estate developers, and government agencies to facilitate investment and resolve complex legal and operational challenges. This hands-on experience allows us to anticipate obstacles, streamline processes, and deliver practical, business-driven legal solutions that create lasting value for our clients operating in Costa Rica’s most strategic economic zones.
