Patton, Moreno & Asvat

Patton, Moreno & Asvat's ‘creative' and ’diligent' corporate team is frequently sought out by multinationals from the banking, retail, telecoms and tech sectors, among others, to advise on their operations in Panama. The team is skilled in handling cross-border mandates, including advising on the Panamanian components of multi-jurisdictional M&A and corporate restructurings, and also assists with associated financial, tax and regulatory issues. Managing partner Ebrahim Asvat, who lends complementary expertise in tax and arbitration to the practice, María de Lourdes Marengo, a specialist in the aviation sector, and the ‘extraordinary' Khatiya Asvat, a go-to adviser to multinationals establishing businesses in Panama, lead the team. Nadya Price, who routinely advises on corporate and financing transactions in the maritime sector, is also a key contact.
