Services

At Escobar, Della Togna, Icaza & Jurado, we understand that truly personalized legal support drives success. Beyond forming your private interest company or foundation and structuring an operational, growth-oriented business in Panama, we design bespoke solutions and tools tailored to your specific needs. Our immigration team handles every step of your visa and residency processes—whether permanent or temporary—for principals, key personnel or family members, ensuring full compliance and a seamless transition.

On the real estate side, we conduct comprehensive due diligence and negotiate your construction, purchase and lease agreements with precision. From title and cadastral investigations to final-delivery inspections, registrations and updates with the Public Registry, Ministry of Economy and Finance and other authorities, we manage all interactions—including dispute resolution—so you can invest and operate with absolute confidence.

International Trade

At EDTIJ, we leverage our deep expertise in Panama’s network of Free Trade and Partial Scope Agreements to optimize your cross-border operations. Our team has advised the Panamanian Government and international agencies on treaty implementation and regulatory compliance, ensuring you capture every preferential tariff benefit.

We guide you through:

Tariff classification and exemptions, maximizing savings on duties and taxes such as income tax, ITBMS and property tax.
Customs procedures and non-tariff barrier mitigation, including sanitary, phytosanitary and technical standards.
Certificates and rules of origin, to secure the lowest possible tariffs under each agreement.

On the fiscal side, we deliver strategic national and international tax planning, structuring both corporate and personal affairs to minimize liabilities. We also advise on Panama’s Double Taxation Treaties and information-exchange protocols, as well as transfer pricing frameworks, providing integrated solutions that protect your profits and drive sustainable global growth.
