We help individuals and companies, whether in Panama or abroad, with residency and work permits, contracts, companies and real estate, and matters before public authorities. We work through document review, virtual consultations and written filings, and we tell you from the outset which steps require someone to be present in Panama.
Not sure which service you need? Start from your situation.
Every service starts with an assessment: what you need, which deadlines are running and what can be handled remotely. We take on a matter when we can handle it well.
We assess your profile, identify the residency category that applies and prepare the application, including dependants, renewals and corrections.
Residency & immigrationThe right permit, applications and renewals, worker and company documents, and expiry tracking.
Work permitsOne legal plan to settle in: pre-move documents, residency, work permit, renting or buying a home, and a company.
Legal relocationDrafting and review of contracts, shareholder agreements, corporate documents, powers of attorney and title searches before you buy or rent.
Contracts, companies & real estatePetitions, appeals and document-based defence on penalties, licences, public procurement and requests from the tax authority.
Feasibility studies and claims before the Full Court or the Third Chamber of the Supreme Court, in matters accepted after assessing their scope.
Constitutional & administrative litigationIf you plan to live or work in Panama, or have a matter here but do not live in the country.
If you need a well-drafted document or have a matter with a public authority.
We review your enquiry, check for conflicts of interest and tell you whether we can take the matter on, what deadlines apply and what is needed.
Scope, fees and third-party costs listed separately, plus what is not included. Nothing starts until you accept it.
Documents, filings and strategy are handled by email, video call or messaging, and you review them before anything is filed.
Filing with the relevant authority, tracking of deadlines and progress updates until a decision is issued.
Many steps can be taken under a power of attorney granted to the lawyer. Not all of them: some procedures require the person concerned to appear in person. We determine this case by case before committing to the engagement.
Outcomes, approvals or timeframes: they depend on the deciding authority. We will tell you frankly what we see as feasible, what we do not, and why.
Nelson Ruiz Pinilla began his career in the Panamanian public sector. His experience in State institutions gives him first-hand knowledge of how an administrative file is processed and how it is read by those who must decide it.
That experience, together with his training in administrative law, shapes how Juriscorp works: careful analysis, well-built documents and deadlines under control.
Not for the assessment or for preparing documents, which are done remotely. Some procedures require the person concerned to appear in Panama; we tell you before accepting the engagement.
No. The enquiry helps us assess whether we can help. Before accepting a matter we check for conflicts of interest, and the engagement is formalised only through a written proposal that you accept.
A short summary, the country you are in and, if there is one, the date of a notice or deadline. Do not send passports, full case files or health data through the form; if needed, we will ask for them through an agreed channel.
In a written proposal based on the scope of the matter. Fees are listed separately from third-party costs such as government fees, apostilles, translations or notary charges.
Proceedings before Panamanian authorities are conducted in Spanish, and foreign documents usually need an official translation. Tell us in your enquiry which language you prefer; in our reply we will confirm whether we can work with you in that language or whether an interpreter or translator will be needed.
We do not currently offer criminal defence, employment litigation, boundary disputes or agrarian proceedings, electoral matters or naturalisation. If your enquiry does not fit our services, we will tell you.
With a few details we can tell you whether the matter fits our services, which deadlines to watch and what we will need to assess it. We will reply through the channel you choose. If a deadline is close, please mark it in the form.
