Fabrega Molino‘s ’dynamic, up-to-date‘ tax practice is widely hailed by clients for its position ’at the forefront of tax issues‘, with wide-ranging experience of advising multinational corporations on tax structuring and compliance, direct and indirect tax issues, and transfer pricing, and noteworthy expertise in Panama’s special tax regimes. The firm also has a thriving wealth and estate planning practice, where senior partner Gretel Ciniglio and Carlos Molino are the key contacts. Firm president José Juan Marquez, whose practice spans tax and succession planning matters, leads the team. Associate Juan Raúl Sosa (who joined from KPMG in June 2022) particularly stands out for his advice on commercial and transactional tax matters and issues surrounding the taxation of free trade zone companies and multinationals.
