What We Do

FDR Legal Advice & Consulting has a legal team in both Panama and Colombia to provide comprehensive service to our clients.

FDR Legal Advice & Consulting is a legal advisory firm based in Panama City, offering legal, financial, and accounting services to companies in Panama and abroad, leveraging the advantages of the Panamanian legal and financial system that provides valuable opportunities for structuring and restructuring companies.

We have a wide range of services that encompass everything required by a company wishing to operate in or from Panama.

FDR complements its legal services with handling Family Law matters, mainly Divorces, Custodies and Upbringings, Alimony, Asset Liquidations, Family Heritage Protection, and other processes and procedures inherent to this branch of Law.

Finally, FDR offers ancillary services to purely legal ones to provide its clients with comprehensiveness in addressing their needs. This offering is carried out through the subsidiary company Gestión Integral Corporativa (GIC).

FDR Legal Advice & Consulting maximizes opportunities for your business through a legal team strategically located in Panama and Colombia. This dual presence allows us to offer a comprehensive, cross-border service, backed by a deep knowledge of corporate and tax law in both markets.

Our binational structure is not just a location; it is a cost-effective growth strategy designed to bring solidity and efficient expansion to your business in the region.

Strategic Services by Jurisdiction

We turn geographic potential into concrete, high-value legal solutions:

Leverage Panama's jurisdiction for global growth and tax optimization.

  • International Expansion and Offshore: We advise Colombian entrepreneurs on the structuring and incorporation of companies outside Colombia (mainly in Panama), facilitating their leap to the global market and the use of Panamanian investment advantages.

Simplify your entry into South America's largest market with the trust of a local partner.

Comprehensive Support in Family Litigation: Legal and Psychological Support

At FDR Lawyers we understand that family law processes (divorces, custody, visitation schedules, and asset liquidations) are, above all, emotional crises. We know that legal rigor must go hand in hand with support that prioritizes your well-being and that of your family.

That is why we have established a strategic alliance with Clínica Integral Mentes Activas (CLIMA), our comprehensive psychological, psychiatric, and related-therapies clinic.

Beyond Legal Strategy: A Human Approach

Our commitment is to provide you with a 360-degree solution, where the defense of your rights and your emotional well-being go hand in hand. When you work with us, you have access to a multidisciplinary team that provides you with:

  1. Stress and Anxiety Management: Therapy and psychological support focused on mitigating the emotional impact of litigation.
  2. Support for Children and Family: Tools and guidance to protect and support your children throughout the separation process.
  3. Psychological Assessments: In custody cases or complex divorces, we work with professionals specialized in technical reports and forensic assessments.

In this way, while our legal team focuses on achieving the best possible legal outcome, you and your family have professional support to face the emotional challenge with strength and clarity. With two CLIMA locations for your convenience: in the Marbella area and in Centennial, next to Altaplaza Mall.
