Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'Lovill's Projects and Energy practice is distinguished by its strategic focus, its in-depth knowledge of the Panamanian regulatory environment, and its ability to collaborate effectively with both public and private counterparties. What truly makes this firm unique is its mastery of PPP project structuring, a still nascent modality in Panama with significant development potential.'
- 'Another key aspect is its ability to anticipate risks, propose clear solutions, and maintain constant communication focused on the timely execution of projects. They have been key players in complex processes, demonstrating not only legal solidity but also outstanding negotiation and inter-institutional coordination skills.'
- 'Lovill's greatest distinguishing feature is its team. Its lawyers combine solid technical knowledge with a friendly, practical, and results-oriented attitude. Rather than simply providing legal advice, they are deeply involved in projects, understand the institutional context, and act as true strategic allies. They stand out for their agility, availability, and ability to handle complex matters clearly and effectively.'
- 'In our case, we worked directly with partner Jeannette Bravo, who has been instrumental in the PPP project structuring processes. Jeannette not only masters the regulatory framework but also has a deep understanding of Panamanian institutional dynamics and key stakeholders in the public and private sectors. She has a great ability to build consensus, facilitate dialogue between parties, and guide negotiations toward realistic solutions. Her approach is always professional, decisive, and collaborative, which makes a difference in complex contexts.'
- 'Stands out for its use of technology to optimise processes.'
- 'Personalised attention and availability" We are satisfied with the technical and legal expertise of the people we have worked with.'
