CostaRicaLaw.com, established by esteemed Attorney Roger Petersen, author of “The Legal Guide to Costa Rica,” has been a cornerstone of legal knowledge since its inception in 1997. Under Petersen’s guidance, this platform has evolved into an indispensable resource for those contemplating retirement, residency, investment, or business ventures in Costa Rica. To enhance the site’s utility, I have incorporated informative videos that cover a broad spectrum of topics you’re likely to encounter as you transition to life in Costa Rica.
Whenever possible I ensure that the information provided in the articles is referenced to the actual law or regulations on which the statements are based. There is vast information floating around the internet so we need to separate facts from fiction and the best way to do that is to provide the legal context to those articles that are informing you about Costa Rican legal issues.
HOW IS COSTA RICA LAW.COM ORGANIZED ?
