About

Provided by Alemán, Cordero, Galindo & Lee

Alcogal represents industry leaders and world-renowned companies, in all types of infrastructure projects. We routinely advise local and international clients on both the structuring and financing, as well as the construction and operation of major infrastructure projects. Our lawyers have in-depth expertise in public tenders and major concession contracts.

The firm is a market leader in transport infrastructure including landmark projects linked to the Panama Canal. Alcogal’s preeminence in transport infrastructure is also demonstrated by its track record in the construction of highways throughout the country. 

Alcogal also represents large-scale port operators, advising on major expansion projects in this area.

Alcogal is also extremely active advising on the development of major projects in the telecommunications as well as water and waste management space. 

Energy is one of the strengths of the firm, representing more than 50% of the installed capacity in the country and have represented one of the largest distributors of electrical power in the country for over twenty years. Alcogal is also increasingly active in the energy generation space, particularly in the growing renewables sector; we have assisted with the financing, development and acquisition of solar energy projects. Our lawyers are also active in conventional energy, representing clients in the oil storage, wholesale, and retail sub-sectors.
