‘Remarkable' boutique MDU Legal has a strong international dimension to its dispute resolution practice, with a marked emphasis on cross-border asset recovery and insolvency litigation – strengthened by its membership of asset-tracing network ICC FraudNet – and international arbitration. The firm routinely acts for foreign clients from Europe, Latin America and the US with operations in Panama, in addition to representing local companies and private individuals. The ’excellent' David Mizrachi, who is dual-qualified in Panama and Florida, steers the practice. Marlyn Narkis (an expert in cross-border insolvencies), senior associate Carmen Concepción and associate Donald Sáez round out the team.
Testimonials

He has the ability to explain complex issues to North American clients regarding disputes and legal issues in Panama with clarity. His ability to identify the key points, and explain how they would be handled in arbitrations and court proceedings is valuable and something that other law firms in other jurisdictions fail to achieve. David and his team are very skilled.'
