Real Estate Investment - The constant growing of the tourism industry and the attraction that Costa Rica represents as a beautiful destination for living and doing business, has motivated RE&B ATTORNEYS to offer a very complete service as advisors for local or foreign investors who want to develop any kind of business related to Real Estate in the country.

Likewise, we assist our clients in handling everyday corporate issues, such as keeping and handling the company legal and accounting books, issuing certifications, transfer of shares, issuing powers of attorney, etc.

Customs and International Trade Law - Costa Rica has followed in the last years as aggressive policy of integration with the international markets that has allowed its foreign trade sector to become one of the most important and dynamic sectors of its economy. Some members of our law firm have participated directly in the negotiation of these trade agreements and as such have acquired a deep understanding of the implications that these treaties have to our client's interests.
