International publication by the International Technology Law Association featuring the participation of our director in the Panama chapter.

The International Technology Law Association (ITechLaw) has launched the second 2024 edition of the Startup Legal Guide or “A Quick Reference Guide to International Market Entry for Startups (and Their Lawyers)” whose main objective is to provide startup founders and their lawyers or legal advisors with a concise guide to key legal issues in foreign jurisdictions. 

About the ITechLaw 2024 Legal Guide for Startups

The Startup Legal Guide was created to help address key issues and enable better risk assessment and questioning of the legal sector for Startups. 

This publication provides a concise guide on key aspects such as:

• Risk assessment and legal framework for startups.
• Key issues for expansion and entry into international markets.
• Jurisprudential and regulatory analysis across more than 60 jurisdictions.

Its numerous authors are lawyers members of ITechLaw from all over the world with experience working with startups. 

The Startup Legal Guide is divided into country chapters. The Panama chapter of the second edition was written by our director Lia P. Hernández Pérez.

This publication is the result of ITechLaw. Initially debated in 2020 during the pandemic, the committee developed fundamental questions and collaborated with colleagues from around the world to create country-specific chapters. The guide currently features detailed chapters for more than 60 jurisdictions. 

Future editions intend to include more countries, updates to reflect changes in legislation, and expanded questions covering specific sectors and regulatory regimes.
