Lexincorp

What Lexincorp does

Lexincorp is a Central American full-service law firm headquartered in San José, Costa Rica, with regional operations across Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. The firm was founded in 1980 (previously operating as André Tinoco Abogados) by founding partners including Enrique Escobar and Gonzalo Menéndez, and currently maintains 7 offices and more than 60 legal professionals. Its practice areas span corporate law, banking and finance, mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property, compliance, litigation, administrative and competition law, environmental law, international trade and customs, construction and infrastructure, wealth management, and ESG advisory — organized as distinct practice areas rather than a unified technology platform.

Lexincorp serves three primary customer segments: corporate entities and businesses (the primary segment, including local, regional, and international companies requiring cross-border legal services), high-net-worth individuals requiring wealth management and asset structuring, and government institutions requiring public procurement and regulatory counsel. The firm operates an enterprise field-sales go-to-market model with direct relationship management, quote-based or retainer pricing, and no publicly disclosed fees. Distribution is relationship-driven through the 7 physical offices, supplemented by thought-leadership content via the monthly LexNews publication and corporate social media presence on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and X.

The firm's revenue model is professional-services based, generated through billable legal advisory and representation services. Lexincorp's strategic differentiators are its regional physical footprint (only multi-country Central American firm of comparable scale), 40+ year brand track record, multilingual locally licensed professionals, and memberships in international legal networks including Multilaw, AMCHAM, the German-Palestine Chamber of Commerce, CBBl-Lawyers, and Rödl & Partner. The firm is privately held under a partnership structure led by country-level Managing Partners (Gonzalo Menéndez Park in Guatemala, Enrique Escobar in El Salvador, Benito Zelaya in Honduras, Roberto Rodríguez Zeledón in Nicaragua, and Alonso Vargas in Costa Rica). No revenue, funding, or M&A data is publicly disclosed.
