About

Provided by Finlex

We are the leading lawyers for the insurance and reinsurance industry in Costa Rica and Central America, offering a wide-ranging spectrum of services. Our practice is deeply specialised in Insurance and Reinsurance, supporting clients' work teams and governing bodies through legal, regulatory and strategic advice on decision-making, structuring insurance and reinsurance contracts (a wide range of insurance types: D&O, parametric, car, and life insurance), regulatory processes for incorporating and transforming insurance entities, resolving coverage disputes, recoveries and subrogation, and representing insurers in coverage dispute litigation and insurers' clients in civil liability litigation. We are the region's coordination point for insurance legal matters.

Our main differentiators are: 1) highly coordinated teamwork, reflected in our firm having the most lawyers ranked in this practice area; 2) our lawyers' absolute dedication to the insurance and reinsurance industry, generating sophisticated expertise; and 3) deep experience not only in legal matters but, above all, in the technical aspects of insurance.

The team's cohesion has been built over many years of developing legal opinions, litigation and publishing research, led by a practice director with over 25 years in the insurance market, engaged since before the market opened to competition.
