CostaRicaLaw.com was founded by Attorney Roger Petersen, the author of The Legal Guide to Costa Rica.
The site was launched in 1997 and over the years has remained as a valuable source of information for individuals or entities that are considering retiring, living, investing or doing business in Costa Rica. I have added videos to the site covering most of the topics that you will encounter when settling into 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 ?
I have tried to simplify the site as much as possible into 3 sections. The main section is the LEGAL TOPICS section. Each topic deals with a specialized area of the law. I currently have 24 legal topics in this section and they set forth for you below:
The Legal Topics Section of CostaRicaLaw.com
The second component of the site is the COSTA RICA FACTS section of the site. In this section of the site I cover more general topics about Costa Rica. The Costa Rica Facts section is divided into the following 9 topics.
In the FAQ’s section of the site I have taken thousands of questions that we have received over the years about Costa Rica and summarized them into the FAQ section.
HOW ABOUT VIDEOS ?
Finally I have converted some of the articles into video format which I post of the CostaRicaLaw.com You Tube Channel. I greatly appreciate your feedback and would appreciate your subscription to our You Tube channel so we can continue producing and posting video content to the site.
