Not only that, but case law in Costa Rica has broken the ‘shield’ on numerous occasions – at LEAST for the last 5 years – between S.A. signatories and the company itself.

Having an S.A. is next to nothing of protection against liability, tax evasion, or any other activity that would run south of (international) law, or Costa Rica law or liability for that matter.
