LACCA, the Latin American Corporate Counsel Association, launched in 2012 the LACCA Approved lawyers list, allowing its members to recommend private practice lawyers they know and trust to each other.
The project was designed to create a list of member-approved lawyers they can turn to.

ARIFA Senior Partner María del Carmen Zúñiga has been distinguished as a 2026 LACCA Approved labour private practitioner in Panama.

Only LACCA members are eligible to vote for who they considered to be Latin America's leading private practitioners.
