FAQ

We answer your questions about contracts, companies, and commercial disputes. Our team provides clear answers and practical solutions.

Commercial law in Panama is the branch of law that regulates the economic and legal activities of merchants and businesses. It encompasses everything from contracts and corporations to banking operations, with the aim of ensuring security and legality in business.

Commerce in Panama is primarily governed by the Commercial Code, in addition to special laws such as the Corporations Law and sector-specific regulations. These regulations establish the legal framework for commercial activities in the country.

Commercial law regulates commercial acts, the activities of merchants, commercial companies, commercial contracts, and financial transactions. It seeks to ensure transparency and order in the legal relationships of the business world.

Commercial law and mercantile law are equivalent terms; in practice, they are synonymous. Both refer to the same branch of law that regulates business activity, although “mercantile” is the more traditional term and “commercial” is the more commonly used today.

Merchants in Panama have rights such as freely engaging in lawful commerce, forming companies, registering trademarks, legally contracting, accessing credit, carrying out any commercial activity, and protecting their interests through the application of laws and legal resources before the courts of justice.
