Panama Attorney Delivers Presentation Before Chamber of the Americas

Attorney Alvaro Aguilar delivered a presentation on Panama real estate laws before US investors with the 2007 VIP Real Estate Mission to Panama organized by the Denver-based Chamber of the Americas

Panama, Panama, April 03, 2007 --(PR.com)--
Lombardi, Aguilar & Garcia (http://www.laglex.com/) attorney Alvaro Aguilar delivered a presentation on Panama real estate laws for US investors, co-authored by Kevin Mullin of the Denver, CO, law firm of Mullin, Dean & Heimos, LLP (http://www.mdhlex.com/). The presentation was part of the 2007 VIP Real Estate Mission to Panama organized by the Chamber of the Americas (http://www.chamberoftheamericas.com/) & Continental Airlines. Real estate businessmen from Colorado and the rest of the US attended the event.

Mr Aguilar spoke about the procedure for acquiring title to property and financing a property purchase in Panama. While Panama is a booming real estate market attracting buyers from the U.S. and Europe, due diligence is necessary when purchasing rural properties. Current regulations offer tax incentives to property owners and builders and encourage foreign retirees to reside in Panama. Slides of the presentation may be downloaded from the law firm website.

Co-author Kevin J. Mullin, J.D., CPA, LL.M. (International Taxation), has been practicing law for over 20 years with a focus on advising foreign investors on their U.S. real estate and other investments, and international business, estate and tax planning. His law firm of Mullin, Dean & Heimos, LLP, focuses on international tax, real estate and business, including foreign persons investing in the US and US persons investing abroad, especially in Latin America. Its specialties include U.S. and foreign real estate and closely-held businesses; multi-jurisdiction estate planning and wealth preservation; cross-border joint ventures, global licensing of intellectual property, including e-commerce; and shari'a compliant instruments. Both law firms work together on an on-going basis to provide guidance to US clients from both the US and Panamanian tax, real estate and business perspectives.

Processing Zones and City of Knowledge provide business opportunities


Panama hopes processing zones mimic maquiladoras' export success



BY LARRY LUXNER
JOURNAL OF COMMERCE STAFF


WASHINGTON -- When people talk about free- trade zones in Panama, they usually mean the Colon Free Zone -- a heavily guarded, merchandise-packed city within a city, which last year imported and re-exported $10.6 billion worth of electronics, clothing, liquor and other luxury goods.


But now, Panamanian officials are promoting a different animal, called Export Processing Zones. These sprawling industrial parks -- housed in former U.S. military buildings now being turned over to the Panamanian government -- hope to copy the success of Mexico's border-area maquiladoras, nurtured by preferential tax and duty treatment.


Speaking Wednesday to 100 potential investors at a conference in Washington, Nicolas Ardito-Barletta, administrator of Panama's Interoceanic Regional Authority, outlined his government's plans to boost the relative importance of manufacturing in Panama's service-oriented economy.

Alvaro Aguilar, a Panama City attorney attending the conference, said EPZs could also offer data-processing and database maintenance services under a draft law that Panama's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is preparing.


"It's not just apparel and sweatshops. Under this law, they'll get all the same incentives and benefits as if they were doing apparel," he said, noting that "now, with Y2K (Year 2000 computer) problems, they're hiring tons of programmers from India. Our idea is that Panama can do that, too."
