Firm profile:

BLP Abogados was founded in March of 2003 by a group of lawyers who shared a same view of the practice of law. They were convinced that legal advisers must become true business partners of their clients, especially by providing top legal advice with business-sense. Hence, the name: Business Law Partners.

Since its opening, the law firm has remained loyal to this vision. Clients are not only seeking for the best legal advice, but also efficiency. BLP Abogados defines an efficient service as one provided with world-class quality, but also in a timely manner while being cost-conscious and open to alternative fee arrangements with clients. BLP is continuously ranked as one of the top law firms in the Central American region, by well-known legal and business rankings. They focus on the law firm's culture of client service, as well as the quality of its work. It is also one of the law firms referred by the Embassies of the most important countries.

BLP has developed a network of law firms around the world, not only through years of working with some of them, but also trough the exclusive legal networks in which it actively participates: Meritas (www.meritas.com), State Capital Law Firm Group (www.statecapitallaw.com) and the International Network of Boutique Law Firms (INBLF) (www.inblf.com).

Today, BLP Abogados is the only law firm in Costa Rica working with a real business structure, where all our professionals and staff work together as a group to satisfy the demands of our clients. The law firm has a series of guiding principles, which allow pursuing total satisfaction to its team and its clients.
