Central America is experiencing a strategic moment for regional manufacturing and logistics: nearshoring, free trade zone regimes, free trade agreements, and its geographic proximity to North America have made the sector a magnet for foreign investment and regional expansion. 

We have in-depth knowledge of the free trade zone and economic development regimes in the region’s five countries, their operational specifics, and the criteria of the regulators, which enables us to provide predictable support for the establishment of new manufacturing operations and the expansion of existing ones. For groups with operations in more than one Central American jurisdiction, we serve as a single point of contact capable of simultaneously coordinating permits, contracts, corporate structure, international trade, and labor matters—without the client having to orchestrate complex coordination among local firms. We combine technical rigor in customs law and international trade with a commercial vision: we understand the timelines of the manufacturing and logistics industries and structure legal solutions that align with them.
