About

Provided by Icaza, González-Ruiz & Alemán

The members of our M&A department have the insight and experience to advise corporate and private equity investors through each stage of the merger and acquisition process. We are able to recommend tailor-made legal strategies and solutions to help our clients achieve their objectives, considering the characteristics of the Panamanian market.

In addition to the execution of the legal due diligence process, as well as the negotiation, drafting and review of the different contracts and agreements to achieve the mergers or acquisitions, we advise our clients with respect to other legal matters that may be relevant in these transactions, including regulatory matters, construction and lease agreements, as well as complex real estate transactions.  

The department is continuously involved in transactions of all sorts, including those based on mergers, asset purchase agreements, share purchase agreements, and joint ventures. We can provide the necessary legal assistance from the start (NDAs, MOUs, due diligence, etc.) until the final closing. The M&A team works together with other departments of the firm, such as  Intellectual Property, Corporate, Tax, Labor, Litigation and Real Estate, to make sure the client receives thorough and accurate advice during the merger or acquisition process.

Most of our clients for M&A transactions are multinational companies. Thus, our team is accustomed to dealing with cross border transactions and fulfilling the needs of our international clientele.
