“We are extremely honoured to join Alliott Global Alliance and become the sole representative law member in our jurisdiction. We have experience of membership of similar organisations and have experienced first-hand the benefits of affiliation with a global alliance. With a global reach that extends to 80 countries, PGS can now meet the growing needs of local and foreign companies and investors who are looking to expand within and beyond Panama, including in Latin America, Europe, and North America."

Membership of AGA provides the firm with a platform from which they can elevate themselves to greater heights in the country’s legal and international business communities. Panama offers significant opportunities to entrepreneurial businesses that are looking to expand into Latin America, and to the professional advisors who have the resources to meet these clients’ needs. We are delighted to assist such a dynamic and progressive law firm to achieve their ambitions on the world stage.”
