Antitrust and Consumer Protection

Our firm provides expert counsel for complex mergers and acquisitions that require approval from competition authorities. We ensure that each transaction meets all antitrust requirements and obtain timely clearance from Panama’s Consumer Protection and Competition Authority. Our proven track record includes securing approvals for landmark deals, such as major banking mergers that have reshaped the nation’s market.

We defend clients in Panama facing investigations or lawsuits over alleged anti-competitive practices. Our experience includes successfully representing companies in court and before regulators, protecting them against antitrust allegations. We also take proactive legal action against competitors that violate competition laws, safeguarding our clients’ interests and ensuring a fair playing field.

We guide clients through Panama’s consumer protection laws to ensure full compliance and minimize legal risks. Our attorneys assist with critical consumer obligations such as product recalls, proper labeling, technical standards, and warranty requirements, providing clear guidance at every step. If a claim arises before the Consumer Protection Authority, we represent our clients in those proceedings to protect their business interests and mitigate potential consequences.
