One of our main areas of practice - setting us apart from other firms - has to do with Maritime and Terrestrial Zone Law (Zona Marítimo Terrestre), "concessions", private property, coastal area management, residential regulations, marina, environmental, land use, zoning restrictions and other beachfront real estate regulations and transactions.

Coastal zones are unique. Such things as mangrove forests, coral reefs and sea beaches are found only at the coast. Because of these features and because coastal enterprise is also very particular, Costa Rica - like most countries - recognizes and regulates the coastal zone as a distinct region with resources that require special attention.

We provide specialist technical and management consultancy services to individual clients, corporations and even other law firms, in order to enhance the sustainable development and management of marine, coastal and estuarine environments, while complying with all the applicable laws and regulations.

Our focus is on reducing the impact of economic development on beaches, coasts and coastal communities.
