Firm Cites Growth in Panama as Reason for New Office

The second-largest lobbying firm in New York is opening a new company in Panama….

Patricia Lynch, a NY-based lobbyist, has partnered with the Sosas, a Panamanian family, to open Lynch Sosa & Associates. Partner Juan Sosa is the former Panamanian ambassador to the U.S. His son will also be joining the business.

Lynch’s office chose Panama due to the strong growth that continues to take place in Panama. Her office claims:

“It’s like a place that’s got the best of the Caribbean and Latin America, while also having a lot of American connections. It’s a great place to do business”, adding that their clientele consists of “a combination of Panamanian folks wanting to explore New York markets, and the second part is New York and American firms wanting to have a Latin American presence”.

This marks founder Patricia Lynch’s first overseas venture. The firm will be located in Panama City. The office has been planned for the last year. Advantages of maintaining a Panamanian office include that it is in the same time zone as New York, uses the dollar as its primary currency, uses English commonly, and has labor costs, real estate prices and taxes that are much lower than in other countries.
