“Legal assistants needed”, is what I read on the ad placed on the hallways of the Faculty of Law of the University of Costa Rica –where I had the privilege to study-. When I saw the law firm behind the ad, I did not hesitate to apply. That is how I participated and was able to become part of Oller Abogados in 2004. I currently oversee a variety of cases, from public law cases to international mergers and acquisitions, which keeps me from losing my passion for this profession.

My name is Andrés Mercado and, beyond being an attorney, I am a good guy! Seriously, my family and friends are an essential part of my life. I like soccer, music, playing the guitar, and spending time with those closest to me.

Professionally, I still have a lot to learn, goals to fulfill, and stages to overcome and when going down that road, all help is welcome. I like to learn from all the members of the team, the young ones and those with the most experience, and I learn even more from our clients.

I like to think that my relationship with the firm’s clients goes beyond a merely professional one and I try to conspire with them, with their plans and goals; that is how I have learned to work at Oller Abogados, with passion, closeness, empathy, and effort.

It’s easy to say that Oller Abogados is a unique law firm…but, in this case, I think we can prove it with stable relationships with our clients and the positive feedback they give us once we have done a good job.
