About

As the world’s top registry of ships and maritime services, Panama Maritime Authority (AMP) has benefited immensely from its highly experienced knowledgeable legal team and relies heavily on its expertise to formulate market strategies to achieve growth objectives. This year for instance, the authority signed a key memorandum of understanding agreement on strategic cooperation with the Port of Hamburg, one of the most important container terminals in Europe. The port is expected to assist AMP in the development of its $167m cruise port on the Panama Pacific entrance. Apart from supporting this and other key initiatives, the legal team plays an influential role on key litigations and provides advice on legal and compliance issues related to the development of the body’s plethora of projects. The team’s efforts are overseen by Eduardo Alberto Segura Botello, a lawyer with over 19 years in maritime law, known for his unrivalled depth of expertise in dealing with cargo and shipments worth millions of dollars. Other key members of the team are Stefanie Saval who has been an in-house lawyer at the organisation for 10 years and Sofia Herrera Barria, an accomplished lawyer and financier focused on objectives and results.
