ECIJA entered the Central American market in 2018, after absorbing the operation of Expertis Legal.

We are a full-service firm, but with a strong focus on the digital economy. We combine our knowledge and sophistication as a large international firm, with the personalized experience of a boutique firm.

We are specialists in the coordination of projects with a Central American or Latin American scope, through our own offices or through other law firms. Our lawyers are trained as legal project managers, oriented to the development of all types of transactions with control over the scope, cost and time of the projects.

Leading international directories such as Chambers & Partners, Legal 500 and Latin Lawyer recognize the leadership of our team in sectors such as Corporate, Real Estate, Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, Tax, Labor and TMT.

Our main office is located in Torre Lexus, in the business area of Escazú, but we have an additional office located in the North Pacific, in the paradisiacal beach of Flamingo in Guanacaste.
