Legal Structuring of the PPP Project for the Rehabilitation of the Pan-American Highway West

LOVILL provides comprehensive legal counsel in the structuring of the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project for the Rehabilitation of the Pan-American Highway West. This experience represents not only a milestone in the practical application of PPP legislation in Panama, but also a clear example of the strategic value we deliver through our deep understanding of the regulatory, contractual, and institutional framework, as well as the local market environment.

Our participation includes the preparation of the final technical report, prequalification documents, assistance in the prequalification process, bidding documents, the PPP contract, and support to the EPC during the bidding phase. We provided clear and practical legal solutions that enabled progress from the feasibility stage to the final structuring of the project, contributing to the establishment of a roadmap for future PPPs in the country.

Through our work, we facilitated the identification of legal risks, the appropriate allocation of responsibilities among the parties, and the development of a robust operational framework—essential elements in an environment where the PPP model is still evolving.
