By San José, Costa Rica — San José, Costa Rica – In a significant leap for the nation’s legal technology sector, Costa Rican company Globalex has officially launched Lexi, the country’s first artificial intelligence-powered legal assistant. The new tool is engineered to transform the legal landscape by providing professionals with instantaneous and reliable access to a vast, curated repository of local legal information.
Lexi integrates Costa Rican regulations, national jurisprudence, complex legal calculation tools, and a library of over 1,200 document templates into a single, intuitive platform. This comprehensive solution is designed to serve a broad audience, including lawyers, notaries, corporate legal departments, human resources managers, and businesses seeking to navigate the country’s intricate legal framework with greater efficiency and accuracy.
To better understand the legal and business implications of this emerging technology, TicosLand.com consulted with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an expert attorney from the prestigious firm Bufete de Costa Rica, who offered his professional analysis on the matter.
The integration of AI legal assistants represents a paradigm shift, promising unprecedented efficiency in case research and document management. However, the legal profession must proceed with caution. The ultimate ethical and professional responsibility for the legal advice given remains squarely on the human lawyer. These tools should be seen as powerful aids, not autonomous replacements, and their implementation requires robust protocols to ensure accuracy, confidentiality, and compliance with our professional duties.

Indeed, Lic. Arroyo’s commentary underscores the essential truth of this new era: while AI can revolutionize the mechanics of law, the conscience of the profession must remain human. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for his clear-eyed perspective on balancing innovation with unwavering ethical responsibility.
The core innovation behind Lexi lies in its closed and meticulously verified information ecosystem. In a market increasingly populated by generic AI models, Globalex emphasizes that its platform offers a crucial distinction: unparalleled reliability. The company has built Lexi to draw exclusively from its own proprietary legal database, which is continuously updated and validated by experts. This approach mitigates the risks of inaccuracies and “hallucinations” common in large language models that scrape data from unverified public sources.
Unlike ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, or other generic AIs, Lexi does not consult unknown external sources. All information comes from our own legal database, which is always current and validated. That makes it a truthful, immediate, and highly reliable tool.

The practical applications of Lexi are designed to streamline the daily-grind tasks that consume valuable time for legal and administrative professionals. For human resources departments, the assistant can instantly calculate employee severance packages for resignations, ensuring compliance with labor laws. For attorneys and corporate counsel, it can suggest the most appropriate contract models for complex situations, such as forming a strategic alliance, saving hours of drafting and research time.
Furthermore, Lexi proves indispensable for notaries and real estate professionals by providing precise estimations of notary fees, stamps, and taxes for property transfers. It can handle a variety of scenarios, from straightforward purchase agreements to more complex transactions involving usufructs, donations, or inheritances. This functionality not only accelerates workflow but also enhances transparency for clients by providing clear, upfront cost projections.
Globalex positions Lexi as more than just a search tool; it is presented as a digital paralegal capable of executing tasks with an exceptional degree of precision. The platform’s ability to perform complex calculations and retrieve specific legal clauses without error aims to set a new standard for professional support, minimizing the potential for costly human mistakes and freeing up professionals to focus on higher-level strategic analysis and client consultation.
This tool covers many tasks of a legal assistant with a very high professional level and does not make mistakes.
