Tactic Legal, which continues to grow after being formed by former COLBS Estudio Legal partner Javier Escalante in February 2022, advises major multinationals such as Inchcape and Rubicon Water on a diverse range of corporate matters. With an active client roster spanning such sectors as healthcare, manufacturing, education, tech, investment and jewellery, the practice’s full offering covers the management of day-to-day matters, corporate governance, market entry, cross-border M&A, distribution and franchising agreements, and the free trade zone regime. Escalante, an experienced trade negotiator who has served as both Consul General of Costa Rica in Singapore and Ambassador of Costa Rica in Qatar, heads the team and specialises in civil and contractual law, commercial dispute resolution and real estate matters. Other key support is provided by corporate law specialist Sylvia Clark Escalante, who draws on a background as an in-house counsel and external consultant. Since the conclusion of research, the firm has merged with Guatemala's A. D. Sosa & Soto and rebranded as Tactic Legal as part of an ongoing process to become a regional player; the new entity also has offices in El Salvador and Honduras.
