Legal manager | Panama Maritime Authority

About

At the heart of legal operations of the world famous Panama Canal, Eduardo Alberto Segura is a distinguished expert in maritime law. Given his 18 year experience of maritime law, the Panama Maritime Authority has benefitted from an unrivalled depth of expertise in dealing with cargo and shipments worth millions of dollars on a daily basis. In addition to assisting the body’s important market strategies to expand its operations, he is set to play a leading role in the almost certain litigation that will arise from the Hanjin Shipping incident, where one ship is already under arrest. Segura’s first legal role (1998-2004)was at Carreira Pitti P.C. Attorneys where he managed claims before the Panama Maritime Courts. Earning respect and recognition for his work there, he was hired by Segura & Asociados as a partner to work on maritime claims. Having enjoyed seven and a half years at the law firm, his desire to learn and teach saw him join the Universidad Católica Santa María La Antigua as a professor between 2012 and 2014. During this period at the university, where he had a particular focus on the carriage of goods by sea and maritime procedure before Panamanian Maritime Courts, Segura was also a partner at De La Rosa & Segura. The law firm benefitted from his extensive experience of handling arrest of vessels claims before the Panama Canal Authority until 2014, when Segura took his current position of general counsel to the Panama Maritime Authority. In 2016 he made a special presentation focusing on legal issues surrounding Panama at the International Association of Ports and Harbours.
