Crimes for the Disclosure of Trade Secrets in Panamá
Confidential information is one of a company’s most valuable assets.
In Panama, the unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets—such as formulas, databases, commercial strategies, client lists, or internal processes—may constitute a crime with civil and criminal consequences. These acts may be committed by employees, former employees, partners, or third parties with improper access to such information. Many companies fail to act promptly due to lack of awareness, which may result in economic losses and reputational damage. Specialized legal advice is essential to prevent, identify, and address these situations quickly and with solid legal support.
- Trade secrets are protected by law
- Former employees may also incur legal liability
- Economic damage may be severe and long-lasting
- Documentary evidence is key to the case
- Legal prevention reduces future risks
