The Costa Rican dispute resolution team at Dentons utilises the bench strength of its regional network of seven offices in six countries in Central America to represent multinational corporations (including Samsung) in a wide range of complex, cross-border disputes. With a client roster spanning such sectors as electronics, hospitality, food, construction, real estate and energy, the group’s full offering covers commercial litigation and arbitration, collection actions, insurance litigation and environmental law claims, as well as restructuring, insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings. The practice is headed by Roy Herrera, who is experienced in both litigation and arbitration, and a member of the board of directors for the Centre for Conciliation and Arbitration of the Costa Rican-American Chamber of Commerce. The group is supported by senior associate Aracelly López, who is skilled in litigation proceedings relating to cross-border M&A, and associate Johann Montero Brenes, who specialises in labour and employment matters.
