Dentons

Lauded for its ‘knowledge, prestige, availability, efficiency and proactivity’, the Panamanian branch of Dentons leverages the firm’s extensive global network to act as local counsel to an array of leading international banks and development finance institutions on loans granted to domestic borrowers. The team’s expertise in multi-jurisdictional financing transactions extends to the maritime sector, where it frequently advises on mortgages over Panama-flagged vessels. The practice is headed by office managing partner Gisela Álvarez de Porras, who focuses on financial regulatory matters and asset finance. Associate Angie Mei Sánchez stands out for her experience in shipping finance transactions.
