Lexincorp has continued to grow its litigation and arbitration practice in Costa Rica since the arrival of director Adriana Vargas from Sfera Legal in September 2024. Vargas, whose skill set spans commercial and construction arbitration and complex litigation, oversees the practice, working closely with managing partner Alonso Vargas, a seasoned litigator and former judge of the Supreme Court of Justice of Costa Rica. The team is particularly active in construction and infrastructure-related litigation and arbitration, as well as handling commercial disputes (particularly breach of contract cases and shareholder conflicts), administrative law claims, labour litigation and debt recovery actions, with experience acting for both multinational corporations and individual plaintiffs.
