Service

Contracts, companies & real estate

Many disputes can be avoided with a document that is well drafted and reviewed in time. We prepare and review contracts, corporate documents and property transactions so that you sign knowing what you are taking on. Most of this work is done in writing and by video call.

Three areas, one standard

Reviewing before you sign costs less than arguing afterwards.

01

Contract drafting and review

Service agreements, sale and purchase, leases, confidentiality and other civil and commercial agreements. Review of clauses and risks, and negotiation of the text in writing.

02

Shareholder agreements

Contributions, management, decision-making, exit of partners and how disagreements will be resolved.

03

Corporate documents

Minutes, resolutions and updates to corporate records, with coordination of notarisation and registration at the Public Registry.

04

Incorporation and amendments

Incorporation of companies and amendments to their articles, with the scope defined in the proposal.

05

Powers of attorney

Drafting of general and special powers of attorney, and coordination of their execution, apostille when used abroad, and registration where required.

06

Title search and due diligence

Review of the property’s registry history, liens, restrictions and the seller’s position before you commit.

07

Purchases and leases

Review of promissory agreements, sale and purchase contracts and leases, and coordination of closing with the notary and the Public Registry.

Not part of this service

Registered agent services and recurring corporate compliance; property litigation, boundary disputes, land titling and agrarian proceedings; accounting and comprehensive tax advice.

In writing, with your review

1

Initial assessment

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.

2

Written proposal

Scope, fees and third-party costs listed separately, plus what is not included. Nothing starts until you accept it.

3

Remote preparation

Documents, filings and strategy are handled by email, video call or messaging, and you review them before anything is filed.

4

Filing and follow-up

Filing with the relevant authority, responses to its requests and progress updates until a decision is issued.

Signing and the notary

Most of the work is done in writing. Executing deeds or powers of attorney before a notary may require the signatories to attend or a prior power of attorney; we tell you before the signing or closing is scheduled.

What to have ready

For guidance only. Depending on the matter, it helps to know:

The draft comes later

If there is a draft to review, we will ask for it through an agreed channel after the assessment. Please do not paste it into the form.

Worth knowing before you start

Can you review a contract if I am outside Panama?

Yes. Review and negotiation are done in writing and by video call. What may require attendance, or a power of attorney, is signing before a notary when the transaction calls for it.

What is a title search and when should I do one?

It is a review of the property’s registry history: who holds title, what liens or restrictions apply and whether anything prevents the sale. It is best done before signing a promissory agreement or paying any money.

Do you offer registered agent services?

That is not part of our current services. We can review your company’s documents and prepare minutes or powers of attorney, but we do not act as registered agent or take on recurring corporate compliance.

Do you handle property or boundary disputes?

No. Our real estate work is preventive and document-based: title searches and contract review. Property litigation, boundary disputes and agrarian proceedings are outside our services.

Have a contract or transaction to review?

Tell us what it is about and when you plan to sign. We will tell you what review we recommend and what we will need.

Sending an enquiry does not engage the firm or confirm that we will take on the matter.

Other services

This page provides general information about Panamanian law. It is not legal advice and does not replace the analysis of a specific case. Sending an enquiry does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship: an engagement is formalised only by written agreement, after the matter has been assessed and checked for conflicts of interest.
