Icaza González-Ruiz & Alemán is known in the market as a traditional law firm, "very old" and "prestigious" with a roster of US clients. One competitor describes partners Alvaro A Aleman H, the current Vice Chancellor at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Roberto R Aleman H as "great guys" and "fantastic lawyers". Another peer ascribes the firm's success to Roberto's stewardship of the firm and the steady development of a strong reputation, labelling the firm "a very well-established practice".
The firm is currently advising the Panamanian Ministry of Economy and Finances in the acquisition of shares for two highway concessions - the Corredor Norte and Corredor Sur. The transaction will be obtained through a $970 billion bond issuance. In other project finance work, the firm is acting as legal counsel to Consortium ICA, FCC Construcciones, and Ingenieros Civiles Asociados as they construct the Panama Canal's Pacific access channel, an undertaking that is part of the Third Set of Locks Project.
Leading lawyer Alexis Herrera R advised the shareholders of COASSA and CPT, the owners of a petroleum terminal on Panama's Atlantic coast, during negotiations aimed at selling the terminal through an indirect transfer. Herrera also advised SAP in a public bidding to supply an integrated software system that would process administrative issues for the CSS (Social Security Administration of Panama).
