OUR PRACTICE

Four full-scope practice areas. One engagement.

Most cross-border matters do not live in a single practice area. A business entering Panama needs entity formation, regulatory compliance, and contract architecture that holds up under the jurisdiction’s evolving framework. An investor acquiring an asset needs corporate structuring, transactional execution, and an understanding of the local property regime simultaneously, not sequentially. CHANIS is built for exactly that kind of matter. Our four practice areas are handled by the same integrated team, drawing on the same institutional knowledge of Panama’s regulatory environment, with international structuring as the thread that connects them all.

01

M&A & Business Transactions

Deals have momentum. The structure has to keep up. We advise buyers, sellers, and investors on acquisitions, reorganizations, joint ventures, and cross-border transactions — with the commercial judgment and network to execute wherever the deal takes you. When a transaction becomes a dispute, we handle it — through negotiation or litigation, in our areas of expertise, through every stage.

02

Corporate & Business Law

Your business needs a lawyer who shows up before the problem does. We cover the full operating lifecycle of a company in Panama — from governance and contracts through employment, tax, real estate, and exit strategy — with ongoing corporate counsel at every stage. We work as your in-house legal team without the overhead.

03

Technology & Digital Business

Tech companies don’t fit the standard legal template. SaaS contracts, platform liability, data protection, fintech regulation, startup structuring, investment readiness, and acquisitions where the assets are code, data, and contracts — lawyers who understand how digital businesses actually operate, not generalists who adapt a corporate template.

04

Real Estate & Condominium Law

Real estate in Panama moves fast and the legal framework is specific. We advise buyers, sellers, developers, and investors on property acquisitions, condominium structuring, title due diligence, and developer contracts — with the regulatory depth that Panama’s Condominium Law demands. Whether the matter is a single asset acquisition, a full development project, or a tech-integrated development involving tokenized assets or smart city infrastructure — we handle the transaction and the structure behind it.

International Business & Investment Structuring

Panama is the structure and hub. The holding, the investment vehicle, the residency program, the Türkiye Desk — these activate when your matter crosses borders, from whichever practice it starts. We work with a network of vetted legal correspondents across jurisdictions, with Panama as the anchor and dedicated market desks as the bridge.
