International Business – Costa Rica – Roberto Batalla

With over four decades of distinguished service in the legal and business spheres, I have had the privilege of participating in negotiations spanning a multitude of industries across the globe. Raised in a traditional Costa Rican family steeped in business and entrepreneurship, I am rooted in the principles of ethics, strategy and an unyielding belief in the art of negotiation, where a win-win solution is always within reach.

My multidisciplinary approach to law, fortified by my background in engineering, a degree in law and an MBA, positions our firm to view legal challenges through the discerning lens of business leadership. Beyond my professional pursuits, I harbour a profound passion for technology, a love for literature and a commitment to family and spiritual growth, which together provide balance and inspiration for my work.
