Hello!

I'm Melissa Rivel C., and I want to share a bit of my journey with you, from the beginning of my legal studies to becoming the director and founder of LAM Legal, your strategic partner in Costa Rica.

My journey began in 2007, at the age of 18, when I decided to pursue a degree in Law at the prestigious University of Costa Rica, recognized as the best law faculty in the country and Central America. It was there that I cultivated the solid foundations that now define my professional approach.
 

I took my first steps in the legal world at the Public Defender's Office of the Judiciary, immersed in legal processes that gave me a unique perspective on the Costa Rican legal system.
 

My passion for travel led me to explore other cultures, expanding my horizons and enriching my worldview. Later, it also led me to make the decision to embark on a journey to Spain, where I obtained my master's degree and honed my skills for project implementation and development. This period of my life not only expanded my academic knowledge but also provided valuable international experience that is now crucial to my professional practice.
 

I had the privilege of delving into the country's public institutional framework, serving as an advisor to the Minister of Justice and Peace. This experience allowed me to deeply understand the functioning of the Costa Rican bureaucratic system and strengthen my commitment to excellence and responsibility in my professional practice.
 

The year 2022 marked a significant turning point in my life. Inspired by the stunning nature and warm community of the Osa Peninsula, I decided to leave my hometown, San José, to settle here, in Paradise. In this unique environment, I founded LAM Legal, a legal office that represents the fusion of my professional and academic progress with the values and personal principles that have always characterized me.

​

In recent years, my focus has been on leveraging my expertise in corporate law to assist businesses of all sizes in navigating complex legal landscapes. From startups seeking guidance on entity formation to established corporations requiring strategic counsel on mergers and acquisitions, I have been privileged to provide comprehensive legal solutions tailored to each client's unique needs. Moreover, my proficiency in notarial and real estate law has allowed me to facilitate seamless transactions, ensuring that my clients' interests are safeguarded at every step of the process. Whether drafting intricate contracts or conducting meticulous due diligence, I am committed to delivering results-driven legal services that foster trust and long-term partnerships with my clients.

​

Furthermore, my dedication to staying abreast of the latest developments in the legal field has enabled me to remain at the forefront of innovative practices and emerging trends. I actively engage in continuous professional development, attending workshops and conferences to deepen my knowledge and refine my skills. As a result, I am equipped to provide informed guidance on cutting-edge legal issues, empowering my clients to make informed decisions that position them for success in today's dynamic business environment. As I continue to expand my practice, I am excited to embark on new challenges and opportunities, confident in my ability to deliver exceptional legal counsel that exceeds expectations and drives meaningful outcomes for my clients.
