Dispute resolution

Morgan & Morgan

Lauded as ‘the benchmark for disputes in Panama', Morgan & Morgan is home to a comprehensive practice covering the full range of high-stakes litigation and arbitration. The team has broad expertise in the litigation arena, but is particularly noted for its strength in contentious-administrative proceedings, recently handling significant cases in the telecoms, utilities and energy sectors, and in white-collar crime cases. In addition, the firm has a formidable arbitration offering and over the past year has represented clients in some of the most high-profile international commercial and investment arbitrations involving Panama. Jose Carrizo and Luis Vallarino, who enjoy strong profiles in both litigation and arbitration, oversee the sizeable team, while Mayte Sánchez González, a particularly standout name for arbitration, Rodrigo Arias and Omar Rodríguez, who takes the lead in criminal litigation, are also prominent figures. The impressive line-up of junior lawyers includes senior associates Orlando Tejeira and Alejandro Chevalier (an arbitration specialist) and associates Joy Torres and David Ramos.
