The ‘excellent' team at LOVILL, which garners praise for its ’efficient service', continues to play a prominent role in assisting multinational clients with their entry to the Panamanian market and their expansion throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, with a broad practice that encompasses advice on M&A (with an emphasis on multi-jurisdictional transactions), joint ventures, company incorporations, commercial contracts and compliance issues. In addition, the team has a notable strong suit in advising family offices on their investments in Panama, particularly in the real estate sector. Founding partners Elizabeth Heurtematte and Isabel Cristina López lead the team, while the ‘creative' and ’patient' Alejandro Fung, who is well versed in local and cross-border M&A, and Jeannette Bravo are also key figures in the practice.
