Mauad & Mauad traces its history to 1974, operating as Mauad & Associates. In 1991, with the incorporation of other attorneys to satisfy its growing clientele, mainly international, the Firm transformed itself into Mauad & Mauad. Since then, Mauad & Mauad has added many experienced attorneys who were educated at national and international prestigious universities, being successful in their respective fields, and committed to meet and satisfy the needs of the Firm’s clients.

The Firm’s increasing international practice has required the establishment of correspondent offices worldwide which has permitted us to satisfy the legal needs from our headquarters, including assuming the responsibility for such services outside Panama, allowing the client more control, in efficiency and cost of its projects and matters directly related to its operation.
