Local Judicial Practice is the most relevant practice area, well known in commercial and civil litigation practice, extra-contractual civil liability, contractual liability, damages claim, in rem rights, among others. In addition, arbitration is a relevant practice area in which the Litigation Department is known. In Costa Rica, the Alternative Resolution of Disputes is continuously growing as the local idiosyncrasy constitutes an ideal environment for local and international arbitration.
