I’m building a small‐to‐mid-size campground in Panama with my fiancé. Because he is currently in Cuba and I am a U.S. citizen, the venture needs to be structured so that it satisfies both U.S. and Panamanian regulations without exhausting our start-up capital. The immediate focus is on two areas: • Business formation and registration – identifying the best entity type in each country, outlining tax exposure, drafting bylaws, and preparing the filings that let us operate seamlessly from Day 1. • Land acquisition and zoning – confirming that our preferred sites meet tourism and environmental rules, securing zoning approvals, and flagging any hidden liabilities before we sign. I’m comfortable working entirely by email and I have no fixed preference on where counsel is based, as long as you can demonstrate proven expertise in both jurisdictions or bring in reliable local partners when needed. Deliverables I need from you: 1. A written roadmap that breaks down every governmental filing, permit, and fee we will face in the U.S. and in Panama, linked to a realistic timeline. 2. Drafts of the formation documents for the chosen entities plus a clear explanation of the ownership structure that protects both of us. 3. A zoning and land-use opinion for at least two candidate parcels, showing compliance hurdles and estimated costs to cure any issues. 4. A concise budget estimate for the entire legal process with suggestions on where we can safely reduce expenses without cutting corners. Once I review the roadmap and documents, I’ll schedule follow-up questions and, if everything aligns, extend the engagement into full representation through closing and permit approvals. Honest guidance and transparent, reasonable fees are paramount; impress me on those points and we’ll likely be working together long term.

Broader implementation would be scoped separately on Freelancer. Best Regards, 8veer

Greetings, I can help develop a practical legal roadmap for establishing and operating your campground across the U.S. and Panama, with particular attention to cross-border ownership, tax exposure, land acquisition, zoning, tourism requirements, and environmental approvals. The first step would be mapping the appropriate entity and ownership structure, identifying the filings and registrations required in each jurisdiction, and separating essential legal costs from areas where expenses can reasonably be controlled. For the candidate properties, the review would focus on zoning, permitted tourism use, environmental considerations, title and land-use risks, and the approvals required before committing capital. I can coordinate the U.S. and Panamanian legal components where local counsel or specialized advice is required, so the final roadmap is practical rather than based on assumptions about one jurisdiction. I’d be glad to review the candidate parcels and your proposed ownership structure and develop a clear sequence of legal steps, costs, and decision points. Send me a message
