Dentons‘s extensive global network makes it a strong choice to advise international clients; the Panamanian branch frequently joins up with the firm’s offices across Central America and further afield to assist with multi-jurisdictional M&A and due diligence processes. The team also advises on company restructurings, the establishment of operations in Panama, and day-to-day commercial and regulatory issues. Office managing partner Gisela Álvarez de Porras leads the practice, drawing upon extensive experience in Panama’s public sector (including as director of the Internal Revenue Service and Minister of Commerce and Industries). Senior associate Analiz Nieto, who directs the compliance department, and associate Angie Mei Sánchez provide capable support.
