Problem
Legal research in Panama often requires knowing the exact statute, code, or article before beginning a search, which creates a barrier for lawyers and non-lawyers who understand a legal problem but lack precise citations. Traditional legal databases and general-purpose AI tools do not bridge the gap between a factual situation and the relevant legal provisions, forcing users to rely on guesswork or time-consuming manual searches.
Solution
LexLatam provides a specialized legal AI platform that allows users to describe a legal situation in natural language and receive relevant Panamanian statutes, codes, and articles. The tool retrieves documents from a defined legal corpus, organizes potentially relevant sources, and links directly to the original text so users can verify each reference in context. It supports professional workflows by helping lawyers identify legal bases, organize follow-up questions, and prepare initial research paths without replacing professional judgment or the need for manual verification.
Target Audience
Primary users are legal professionals in Panama, including litigators, in-house counsel, and law firm teams, as well as individuals who need to identify relevant Panamanian laws without knowing the exact citation.
