About Costa Rica Law.com

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.
