Your chance to identify Panamas best lawyers

HERE’S  a    a news item that will raise eyebrows among some of Newsroom Panama readers, whose acidic comments on Panama’s legal system arrive regularly.

AIKEN, S.C., USA – March 24, 2014 – Best Lawyers, the oldest and most highly respected guide to the legal profession, is accepting nominations for the second edition of The Best Lawyers in Panama. Nominations can be submitted by the general public, clients, other attorneys and marketing teams. 

After nominations are complete, attorneys are divided by geographic region and practice areas. They are evaluated by their peers on the basis of professional expertise, and undergo an authentication review to make sure they are in current practice and in good standing. 
“Nominating qualified attorneys is the first step in acknowledging the accomplishments of exceptional legal professionals,” said CEO and Co-Founder Steven Naifeh. 
Nominees should be in practice for at least 10 years. It is in the nominator's best interest to only submit nominations in practice areas in which the attorney specializes.
A new nomination system allows the public to easily enter information for the eligible attorney. The nomination period ends May 19, 2014.
