Corporate M&A Guide, Panama Chapter, Chambers and Partners (2020-2025)

As partners at ARIFA, a Band 1 Corporate/M&A firm recognized by Chambers Global and Chambers Latin America, Andrés Rubinoff and Javier Yap Endara—together with valuable support from associates Isabella de la Guardia and Daniela Delvalle—were invited to serve as the exclusive contributors for Panama in both the Trends and Developments and Law and Practice chapters of the 2025 edition of the Chambers Corporate M&A Guide.

The Corporate M&A 2025 Guide—one of Chambers’ most comprehensive editions—covers over 90 jurisdictions, offering up-to-date legal insights on key topics such as company acquisitions, antitrust regulations, foreign investment restrictions, stakebuilding, negotiation strategies, mandatory offer thresholds, takeover conditions, squeeze-out mechanisms, disclosure obligations, directors’ duties, defensive tactics, and shareholder activism.
