TECHNOLOGY & DIGITAL BUSINESS

The law hasn’t caught up with your business model. We have.

Technology companies, digital platforms, and fintechs operate under a legal framework that most lawyers apply generically. We don’t. We advise companies from formation through scale on the specific legal challenges of digital business in Panama – technology contracts, data protection, platform regulation, fintech frameworks, and investment readiness. The work requires understanding how your business actually operates, not just what category it falls into.

CHANIS SERVICE AREAS

SERVICES

Legal counsel built for how digital businesses actually operate!

TECHNOLOGY LAW & CONTRACTS

SaaS agreements, platform terms, licensing structures, technology transfer, API agreements – we draft and negotiate the contracts that govern digital business relationships, built for how the technology actually works.

DATA PROTECTION & PRIVACY

Panama’s data protection framework imposes real obligations on companies that process personal data. We advise on compliance programs, cross-border data transfers, privacy by design, and regulatory engagement with ANTAI.

DIGITAL BUSINESS STRUCTURING

Formation, capitalization, founder agreements, IP ownership, equity structures – we build the legal foundation for technology companies and digital platforms from the ground up, so the structure supports growth and investor expectations.

FINTECH & REGULATED TECHNOLOGY

Payment platforms, digital wallets, alternative financing, cryptocurrency, banking partnerships – fintech operates at the intersection of technology and financial regulation. We advise on legal structuring and regulatory strategy for technology-enabled financial services in Panama.

PLATFORM & E-COMMERCE REGULATION

Marketplace agreements, platform liability, consumer protection, content policies – digital platforms carry specific legal exposure. We advise on the frameworks that manage that exposure while enabling the business to operate at scale.

STARTUP & INVESTMENT READINESS

Seed rounds, convertible instruments, venture capital financing, term sheets, investor rights – we advise companies preparing for investment and the investors who fund them, on both sides of the transaction.

INTERNATIONAL TALENT & DIGITAL MOBILITY

Building a distributed team means navigating work permits, remote employment structures, and cross-border compliance. We advise technology companies on the legal mechanics of hiring and retaining international talent.

M&A FOR TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES

Technology acquisitions require specialized diligence – IP ownership, data assets, customer contracts, technical milestones. We advise on the buy-side and sell-side of technology transactions, covering the legal elements specific to tech.

WHY CHANIS

We work with technology companies because we understand their business model.

The legal issues that affect a fintech are not the same ones that affect a SaaS company or a digital marketplace – and we advise accordingly. This practice is led by lawyers who work on technology matters, not generalists who cover it as part of a broader corporate practice.

PREVENTIVE BY DESIGN

We advise before the problem arrives

Ongoing counsel means we know your structure, your contracts, and your regulatory exposure – so we act before gaps become liabilities.

INTEGRATED ACROSS PRACTICES

Corporate, transactional, compliance, and technology work together

When your corporate matter touches a transaction, a compliance obligation, or a technology agreement, the same team handles it.

BOUTIQUE EFFICIENCY

Senior-led on every matter

The lawyers who understand your business are the lawyers handling your file. Always.
