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.

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
