Panama > Offshore
(Rising stars)Hailed by clients as ‘extremely robust and efficient‘, the fiduciary services unit at Morgan & Morgan advises family offices and HNWIs from around the world on the incorporation and administration of trusts, private interest foundations and corporations in Panama, the Bahamas, the BVI and Belize, in addition to offering corporate secretarial services. Raúl Castro, who is renowned for his advice to HNWIs on investment funds and tax affairs, took over the reins of the practice from Roberto Lewis in 2023; Lewis continues to bring his four decades of experience in wealth management in an of counsel role. Other key contacts at the senior level are Luis Manzanares (a specialist in BVI corporate law and non-traditional asset protection and tax compliance structures), Fernando Boyd (whose practice has an emphasis on advising South American clients) and former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Luis Miguel Hincapie (who oversees the Belize office). Up-and-coming partners Fanny Evans, an expert in Caribbean jurisdictions, and the ‘brilliant‘ Laura Barrios, who heads a newly formed department focused on Bahamian professional and SMART funds, are also names to note, alongside senior associates Nestor Broce and the recently promoted Raúl Bermúdez.
