DEFENSE OF PROPERTY RIGHTS.

Since Costa Rica is a country of laws, it is through that same venue that the different problems that arise for real estate or parcel owners must be solved, especially in areas of social pressure. The Firm has vast experience in filing and defending all types of administrative or judicial actions tending to protect the mentioned property rights, and if necessary, its re-establishment, all in favor of the interests of property owners.

POSSESSORY LAND PROTECTION.

In special cases, where a prevailing right of land possession is filed, we are qualified to file any administrative or judicial actions required, depending on the fact sheet, so the owner may sees his rights strengthened, through his recognition in the established venue, being able to achieve in some cases, even its registration in the Property Registry of the Public Registry. Of course, all of the above results in better juridical safety in movement of property.

SPECIAL PROCEEDINGS BEFORE PUBLIC SECTOR INSTITUTIONS.

Costa Rica has been honored as one of the countries where important efforts have been made to protect the environment, promoting the philosophy of sustainable development, through legislation and special rulings, a number of special transactions have been created before the institution designed for each purpose, leading to guarantee exploitation of natural resources and ecosystems, in a non-exploitive manner. In this field, the Firm offers its knowledge in negotiating a series of special procedures, such as obtaining the corresponding authorization from SETENA (Technical Environmental Secretariat) as a result of environmental impact studies, approval of forestry exploitation and water concessions before the Ministry of Environment and Energy, and the application for forestry incentives before the National Fund for Forestry Financing (FONAFIFO), among others.

ECOLOGIC CRIME AND ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE.

As part of the difficult local policy for environment protection and rational use of resources, a series of punishable ecologic crimes have been designed in several special laws that are prosecuted in criminal jurisdiction, as any other common crime, and in which, even the interested party may be required to repair the environmental damage caused. The support office our Firm has in the North-Atlantic region of our country, has allowed us to start consolidating a vast experience on these topics. For this reason we offer our professional services, not only to defend eventual accusations of that origin but also to claim indemnities arising from the damages evidenced under the principle that he who contaminates, has to pay.
