Legal services to suit your situation
Adaptable and aligned with your needs
Flexible legal support, designed around you
We understand that not every situation requires the same level of legal involvement.
Some clients need and want full-service support. Others — particularly those living in Costa Rica for extended periods — prefer to take a more active role in managing certain aspects themselves.
We welcome both approaches.
Our role is to provide clear guidance, reliable structure, and professional oversight — stepping in where needed and stepping back where appropriate.
By helping clients understand the process and participate where possible, we support greater control, efficiency, and long-term confidence.
Keeping you informed and in control at every step
Our goal is simple: to provide the right level of support at the right time — always with clarity, transparency, and respect for your involvement.
Condominium law and governance
Condominium law in Costa Rica governs some of the most complex relationships in property ownership—bringing together developers, owners, tenants, and administrators within a shared legal framework.
When that framework is unclear or poorly applied, the result is often conflict, uncertainty, and operational risk.
Lexa Law has specialized expertise in the legal structure and ongoing oversight needed to ensure condominium communities operate as they should—clearly, consistently, and in full compliance with applicable regulations.
Our focus is simple: to support well-organized, secure, and harmonious communities where decisions are protected, responsibilities are defined, and long-term stability is maintained.
Real estate legal services
Property transactions in Costa Rica require careful attention to detail—from measurements and title verification to permits and compliance.
We manage the legal process from start to finish, including:
- Due diligence
- Contract structuring
- Transaction support
- Financial transactions
- Title registration
You purchase with certainty—not risk.
Corporate and asset restructuring
Property or business ownership is only the first step. Protecting and managing that asset is equally important.
We assist with:
- Corporate structuring (S.R.L.)
- Tax compliance
- Mandatory annual declaration requirements
- Ongoing legal frameworks
Our focus is on long-term protection, efficiency, and control.
Immigration and residency
Relocating to Costa Rica involves more than choosing the right place to live. The need to carefully navigate immigration and residency requirements can seem daunting, even to well-informed expats.
Lexa Firm clients can rest assured as we guide them through the full residency process, including:
- Application strategy and documentation
- Compliance with regulatory requirements
- Ongoing legal support after approval
We strive to make the process clear, efficient, and properly structured at every step of establishing your legal status with confidence and peace of mind.
Family law
Legal matters involving family require not only precision, but discretion and care.
We assist clients with:
- Separation and divorce proceedings
- Child custody and parental arrangements
- Estate planning
Civil litigation
When disputes cannot be resolved through negotiation, effective legal representation becomes essential.
We represent clients in a range of civil matters, including:
- Breach of contract
- Property-related disputes
We approach litigation strategically focused on protecting your interests, resolving disputes efficiently, and achieving enforceable outcomes.
Employment law
Employment relationships must be clearly defined and properly managed to avoid conflict and liability.
We advise both employers and individuals on:
- Employment agreements and compliance
- Workplace disputes and terminations
- Labor obligations under Costa Rican law
Our role is to provide clear guidance and practical solutions that support fair and compliant working relationships.
Insurance issues
Insurance uncertainties often arise at critical moments and require careful legal attention.
Lexa Firm specialists assist clients with:
- Policy review and interpretation
- Claims support and dispute resolution
- Coordination with insurers and third parties
Our focus is to ensure that your coverage is properly understood and that claims are handled fairly and effectively.
