Litigation and Arbitration in Panama
Alcogal has a strong litigation and arbitration practice, representing public companies, private entities, and individuals in a wide range of commercial disputes before Panamanian courts and in both domestic and international arbitration proceedings.
Our Panama-based attorneys are equipped to handle complex, high-stakes cases involving civil, commercial, administrative, tax, antitrust, banking, financial services, and telecommunications matters. We are known for our strategic preparation, legal insight, and commitment to achieving favorable outcomes for our clients.
Commercial Litigation
Alcogal is recognized as one of Panama’s leading firms in commercial litigation. We advise clients in disputes involving contracts, corporate conflicts, real estate, construction, and represent them at every stage of litigation — from trial to appeals and proceedings before regulatory bodies.
We conduct thorough case evaluations from the outset to assess risks, opportunities, and the most effective resolution strategies. Each matter is led by a dedicated partner working alongside specialized attorneys to ensure personal, efficient service.
Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution
We also represent clients in both domestic and international arbitration, whether as a contractually required process or as a strategic approach to resolving disputes with greater agility and confidentiality. Our team advocates for our clients before arbitral panels, safeguarding their interests with precision and experience.
In addition, we advise on mediation processes — an increasingly common alternative that allows parties to negotiate a resolution outside of court. Our attorneys guide clients through mediations, whether mandated by contract or voluntarily pursued, and assist in transitioning to arbitration or litigation if no agreement is reached.
Integrated, Multidisciplinary Approach
One of Alcogal’s key strengths is our ability to collaborate across practice areas. Our litigators and arbitration attorneys work closely with specialists in banking regulation, energy law, real estate, and trusts to provide holistic, tailored solutions to complex disputes.
