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 & 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.
