Senior Legal Strategy
for Foreign Investors
in Costa Rica.

The most expensive problems
are usually preventable.

The right counsel before a decision is worth far more than the best lawyer after a problem. Our work is built around protecting you at every stage — before money moves, not after it is lost.

An advocate who answers
only to you.

You don’t have to replace your current lawyers to work with us. Keep them. We step in alongside them as your independent business and investment advisor — the person whose only job is to protect your interests, coordinate with your existing counsel as equals, and make sure nothing moves against you.

Legal services for foreign investors
throughout Costa Rica.

Beyond the statutes: because our managing partner owns and operates businesses in Jacó, clients get advice grounded in how permits, payroll, suppliers and local institutions actually work on the ground — not just how they read on paper.

When your Costa Rica investment
needs a way forward.

Where Costa Rica’s real opportunity
— and its real risk — lives.

We work across the country’s highest-value investment zones — from established offices in Jacó and Santa Ana to active focus along Guanacaste, the South Pacific and the Southern Zone. These are the coastlines where foreign capital concentrates, and where the most expensive mistakes are made.

An attorney who doesn’t just advise.
He operates in Costa Rica.

Falcon’s managing partner, Ernesto Alfaro Conde, also owns and operates three hospitality venues in Jacó. For foreign clients investing or relocating in Jacó and Garabito, this is the difference between advice from a desk and advice from someone who lives the same permits, payroll and local reality every day.

“A lawyer who doesn’t only advise — he successfully runs businesses in the same place you’re investing.”

Senior attorneys.
Personal attention. Strategic judgment.

Ernesto Alfaro Conde

Senior & Managing Partner · Attorney & Strategic Advisor

Senior & Managing Partner · Strategic Advisor · Foreign Investment Counsel

Costa Rican attorney with 25+ years of practice focused on real estate, corporate law, administrative law, municipal matters, foreign investment advisory and strategic problem-solving. Ernesto personally leads every complex engagement.

His background in law, business, municipal affairs and public administration gives Falcon a practical understanding of how Costa Rican legal and institutional systems operate — the kind of preventive judgment that protects clients before problems start. He also oversees the firm’s digital-asset and crypto-to-real-estate capability when a client’s funds require it.

Beyond the firm, Ernesto is also a business owner in Jacó — he owns and operates three hospitality venues in town. Running real businesses on the ground gives him first-hand knowledge of municipal permits, payroll, suppliers and how the local economy actually works — the same terrain his foreign clients invest in.
