Building Legal Value in a Competitive Market
BRIG is positioning itself as a boutique law firm in Panama by combining technical specialization with a client-centric approach tailored to a growing investment landscape.
Founded in 2015, the firm emerged from a strategic split aimed at aligning long-term vision and operational agility. Its development reflects a broader shift within Panama’s legal sector, where differentiation has become essential in an increasingly saturated market. “We had to find a way to stand out and build something different,” said Humberto Iglesias, founding partner of the firm.
That differentiation has taken shape through a focused push into construction law, a niche the firm identified as both underserved and technically demanding. Since the pandemic, BRIG has built a specialized team advising on major infrastructure and development projects, supporting clients throughout the lifecycle of construction to resolve disputes early and efficiently.
Alongside this, the firm is expanding into relocation services, driven by a renewed influx of international clients. From real estate transactions to corporate structuring and residency processes, the offering responds to Panama’s growing appeal as a stable, dollarized economy. “Clients value having a single team guiding them through the entire process,” Iglesias explained.
With a recent expansion into Bogotá and a measured growth strategy, BRIG is aligning its capabilities with regional opportunity while reinforcing its core strength: delivering responsive, high-quality legal service.
