Helping businesses resolve their differences

In Costa Rica, the courts are overloaded. If you file a lawsuit, time will become a major factor. In order to expedite this process, many are turning to alterative dispute resolution. Most commercial contracts stipulate that all differences will be resolved in arbitration. To fill this need, we have expanded this part of our practice. Our familiarity with business and law helps us obtain successful results for our clients. If you face a business dispute, contact Oller Abogados to consult an experienced Costa Rica dispute resolution attorney.

ADR Services

We handle ADR cases that involve

  • Public litigation
  • Business litigation
  • Real estate disputes
  • Intellectual property law

Arbitration

Arbitration is the most formal form of ADR. Usually, it is structured exactly like a trial in a regular court. There are the two sides, their lawyers, and a judge or panel. The result is binding. However, it is not nearly as lengthy or expensive as a full-blown trial. We have served both as advocates of our clients and as arbitrators allowing us a full grasp of the process. If you face arbitration, we have the necessary knowledge and skill to guide you through the system.

Mediation

This form of ADR is less formal than arbitration. It may or may not involve a neutral party. Often, it is preferable to litigating in courts or arbitral panels unless it becomes clear that compromise is impossible. We have represented many businesses in mediation. Our combination of tenacity and tact helps our clients protect their interests and resolve their differences.

Conciliation

Conciliation is a means, provided by Costa Rican law, by which two sides may resolve their differences. Its structure resembles a cross between mediation and informal negotiations. To find out more about whether conciliation could work for your business dispute, contact our office to schedule a consultation.
