Amado Sánchez Harding’s commitment to expatriates stems from a deeply personal place. As the son of a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer who made Costa Rica her home, he witnessed from an early age the bureaucratic obstacles, cultural gaps, and unequal treatment that many foreigners encounter when seeking to establish their lives or invest in the country. This experience shaped a strong conviction: expatriates deserve to be treated with the same fairness, clarity, and respect afforded to locals—with full access to their legal rights and without unnecessary complications.

He takes personally every instance in which a foreign client is misinformed, overcharged, or left without guidance. For this reason, he is committed to ensuring that each client feels respected, empowered, and legally protected—not just in principle, but in every step of their journey.

In the business realm, Amado is driven by a clear purpose: to help companies operate with legal integrity, structural clarity, and strategic direction. He firmly believes that when organizations understand how to navigate legal and operational frameworks correctly, their teams can concentrate on what truly matters—achieving objectives and creating sustainable value.

Amado Sánchez Harding also advises legal and service firms throughout Latin America in structuring their operations, automating critical workflows, and achieving compliance—enabling growth without chaos.

With over 20 years of experience, he brings together legal acumen and business strategy, supported by an International MBA and a diverse background across law firms, consulting practices, and service-oriented enterprises. His expertise lies in integrating legal, operational, and technological systems that scale effectively, empower teams, and drive measurable performance.

He has led successful legal restructurings, implemented ERP and CRM systems, and built compliance and operations frameworks that deliver lasting value. His advisory model is grounded in the Value Chain for Professional Services Firms, which emphasizes emotional client experience, automation with a human touch, and alignment between expectation and execution.
