About

The Panamian insurance company ASSA Compañía de Seguros was founded in 1982 and offers a wide range of life insurance and general insurance products in the Central American region. Important members within the legal department include legal manager Hector Amaya, legal claims attorney Darisbeth López and in-house lawyers Miguel Atencio and Ludmila De Gracia. Combined, ASSA Compañía de Seguros’ legal team has saved on costs for the company and gained particular praise for overseeing the company’s purchase of AIG’s Central American business in 2016 and the acquisition of Generali’s Panamanian operations for $172m the following year. The transactions reflect the ASSA Compañía de Seguros’ expansion goals and demonstrates the value the legal department gives to the business.
