History of the firm

Our firm is, today, the product of experience accumulated since 1956, the date on which Edwin Carmona Benavides, a lawyer, began his path, who opened his law firm in the city of San Ramón under the name "Edwin Carmona Law Firm." Through years of professional excellence, Mr. Edwin made a name for himself and his office became the place to go when looking for the best advice in the Western Zone. Mr Edwin also had an office in the capital city, San José.

Mr Edwin, in addition to his professional work as a lawyer and notary, was an active participant in community initiatives and improvement projects for the canton, always involved in any activity that could generate progress and benefit the community. He even had an active participation in the efforts to bring the University of Costa Rica to San Ramón, a fight in which he actively participated with other renowned locals regarding the regionalization of the University of Costa Rica.

His nephew, young Luis Adrián Quirós Carmona, joined his Firm, who began working as his assistant while studying law at the University of Costa Rica. Upon the death of Mr. Edwin, Mr. Luis Adrián Quirós took over, and it was in 1974 that he took over the reins of his uncle's legacy as a lawyer. Over time, the Firm changed its name, calling itself Quirós Carmona Law Firm. For many years it maintained offices in San Ramón, and also in the heart of San José, on Avenida 6, Calle Central and Primera. Subsequently, from 2001, the firm is based mainly in San Ramón.

Mr. Luis Adrián had a long and fruitful professional career of 48 years, during which he worked in all types of legal proceedings; He was a consultant and legal adviser to large companies, processed important trials that set the tone and generated novel jurisprudence, was an attorney and notary for the "Banco Nacional" throughout his career, and was also a notary for the Inter-American Bank for Economic Integration for a time, formalizing large contracts for said institution.

For many years, different assistants and professionals passed through the office, who trained alongside Mr. Luis Adrián. In 1998, Erika Jiménez joined the firm as an assistant, who later joined the firm as a lawyer in 1999. Since joining, she became the right hand of Mr Luis Adrián Quirós, with whom she worked for more than 24 years.

The name "Jurislex Abogados" was suggested by Ms. Jiménez in 2018, which was finally adopted on September 6 of that year and communicated to clients, and it is with which the office has operated since then.

As of the year 2020, Ms. Jiménez also becomes an external collection lawyer for the prestigious Banco Nacional, like Mr. Luis Adrián Quirós.
