La Latin American Corporate Counsel Association (LACCA) has published its latest list of approved professionals («LACCA Approved«).
Unlike other legal directories, this ranking is based exclusively on the votes and recommendations of general counsels at the region’s leading companies, making it a direct indicator of client satisfaction and business performance.
Thought Leadership in Corporate Law
The report highlights the firm's Corporate Law and Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) practice. Partners Alejandro Alemán Ferrari, Luis López Alfaro, and Roberto Harrington Arango have received the LACCA Approved designation.
Within this group, the board of directors grants an additional distinction to Alejandro Alemán Ferrari y Roberto Harrington Arango, naming them «LACCA Thought Leaders«. This category is reserved for those professionals who, according to the market, possess a superior strategic vision and a deep understanding of the region's regulatory complexities.
Validated Multidisciplinary Coverage
LACCA's recognition extends beyond the corporate sphere, validating the firm's technical expertise in four additional areas critical to business operations in Panama:
- Labor Law: Enna Ferrer de Carles and Francisco Iglesias.
- Banking and Finance: María Alejandra Cargiulo Velarde.
- Administrative Law: Luis Horacio Moreno IV.
- Litigation and Dispute Resolution: Katherine Aparicio.
Implications for Companies and Investors
For multinational and local corporations, selecting legal counsel based on LACCA's criteria offers specific advantages:
- Business Alignment: Because they are elected by in-house general counsel, these attorneys have demonstrated an understanding not only of the law but also of the business’s operational needs and deadlines.
- Risk Mitigation: The presence of «Thought Leaders» on the team ensures access to preventive strategies in the face of complex regulatory changes.
- Comprehensive Support: Coverage in areas such as labor, administrative, and litigation ensures that the firm can handle the operational spin-offs of any corporate transaction.
