BLP

BLP stands out for the ‘breadth of its expertise’, with a diverse litigation and arbitration practice that covers all key pillars of civil, commercial, administrative and criminal law. Representing a stellar roster of international companies, including major players in the pharmaceuticals, clothing, tech, entertainment, transport, logistics and chemicals sectors, the team is particularly skilled in handling multi-party cases (such as product liability claims) and distributor conflicts. The firm also houses a thriving criminal litigation practice. ’Truly strategic partner’ Mauricio Salas, who takes on an array of high-profile mandates (with a particular specialism in environmental cases), leads the sizeable team. Other prominent partners include Luis Ortiz, an expert in administrative and constitutional law, and white-collar crime specialist Alejandro Rojas, the former deputy director of Costa Rica’s Public Prosecutor’s Office. The firm also benefits from a strong pool of junior lawyers, including directors Robert Morales, who is well versed in both litigation and arbitration, and Alejandro Goicuría, and senior associates José Pablo Miranda and Fabián Solórzano.
