With almost 1,300 pages of technical and academic content, the work brings together experts from different countries and especially recognizes the valuable contribution of Panama , represented by a group of outstanding co-authors, including Mr. Javier Mitre Bethancourt , partner of LAC LEGAL – Tax , who served as director and coordinator of the Panamanian chapter.
The Panamanian team was made up of:
- Javier Miter Bethancourt (LAC LEGAL – Tax)
- Edith Quirós Bonett
- Digna Atencio Bonilla
- Ivelisse Bonilla
- Isis Soto , Prosecutor of the Public Ministry
These professionals are members of renowned organizations such as IFA Panama , INSPAT , and ASOCJURISTAS , among others, contributing a variety of approaches ranging from criminal law to tax law. Their participation consolidates Panama’s position as a regional benchmark in the development of this branch of law, especially in the areas of tax evasion and administrative violations .
At LAC LEGAL , we celebrate this editorial achievement as a demonstration of our team’s ongoing commitment to strengthening legal knowledge and promoting the international reach of Panamanian talent.
