TACTIC Estudio Legal supports the Costa Rican government’s National Decarbonization Plan across all practice areas and through participation in influential bodies such as the Sustainability Commission of the Costa Rican Chamber of Industry and the Hydrogen Commission of the German-Costa Rican Chamber of Commerce. 

The firm has made significant contributions to conservation and environmental protection efforts across the country. Fernanda Jiménez, who heads up the environmental team, drafted a key proposal for the redesign of the Payment for Ecosystem Services Program of Costa Rica, which entails the expansion of the scheme to include mangrove and coastal locations in its protection.

Jiménez and managing partner Javier Escalante together also provided advice to Lafarge Holcim on how to run a sustainable industrial operation, including specifically dealing with issues concerning emissions standards as well as the handling of illegal logging on its property. The corporate law team furthermore contributed to the protection and recovery of Costa Rica’s bee population by assisting Fundación Selva Negra with setting up the non-profit, designing the corporate governance framework of the organisation and advising on the tenure of protected land.

The firm’s real estate practice has also played a significant role in facilitating the sustainable development of the tourism sector in the country, advising foreign clients on regulations and limitations, and promoting a people-planet prosperity model.
