 Government Contracting


In a country such as Costa Rica, where a significant number of public services are still state-run (i.e. telecommunications, public transportation, the construction of public roads, oil refining and distribution, electricity, etc.), public contracting and bidding processes are of prime interest to clients planning to carry out businesses with the government.

Since the foundation of Soley, Saborío, Fallas & Asociados, Government Contracting has become one of the strongest areas of practice. We have soundly and specifically developed to provide legal assistance and advice in Government contracting and Procurement.

Our Attorneys have vast experience in this field, experience that has been developed both as a result of private practice but also, in the public sector. All our lawyers have worked for several years with the main agencies responsible for public service contracting and/or the supervision of contracting and bidding as well as outside consultants to these entities. This has afforded them the unique opportunity of acquiring on-hands experience on the subject, as well as access to the best sources of administrative jurisprudence and to up-to-date information.

Our Firm has developed exceptional experience in the following areas:

  • TELECOMMUNICATIONS
  • ENERGY
  • INFRASTRUCTURE
  • OIL REFINING AND DISTRIBUTION
  • CONCESSION OF WORKS AND SERVICES

Our focus is on strategic planning and preventive efforts, designed to minimize missteps and to maximize the opportunities for our clients to compete successfully in Government contracting process.

Regarding the above areas we offer advice in:

  • Identification of businesses of interest for the client
  • Preparation of offers and bids
  • Assistance in negotiating contracts
  • Attention to grievances with administrative authorities
  • Formalization of contracts
  • Design of contractual structures for acquiring goods and services with funds from government institutions, loans from international financial institutions (IDB, World Bank, among others)
