Morgan & Morgan promotes corporate law partner
Panamanian law firm Morgan & Morgan has announced the promotion of Aristides Anguizola as partner, strengthening the firm’s corporate law team.
Anguizola (pictured) has concentrated his practice on mining and has significant experience providing legal support for mineral exploration and mine development and finance. He is often involved advising clients in transactions related to corporate and commercial, project finance and development, mergers and acquisitions, banking law, capital markets, and regulatory work, the law firm said.
With almost 10 years’ experience as a corporate lawyer, Anguizola has acted as co-counsel on complex mega-projects such as Cobre Panama, the most significant private sector investment in the country; Metro de Panama, the most important public infrastructure project under development in Panama; and Metro Bus, the public rapid bus system for Panama City. Recently, he was part of the team that advised the Ministry of Public Works on the drafting and approval of the new law for public-private partnerships.
Before joining Morgan & Morgan, Anguizola gained experience as a summer associate in McConnell Valdes LLC, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He also worked as a summer associate in Greenberg Traurig in Washington, DC, dealing with the Government Affairs Practice Group to lobby the US-Panama Trade Promotion Agreement.
