Panama legal data from official sources, structured for AI and legaltech.
Panamanian laws, regulations, and court decisions live across the Gaceta Oficial de la República de Panamá, the Asamblea Nacional, government ministries, regulators, and the courts. Lawstronaut structures legal data from official sources into one format used across more than 150 jurisdictions — with every record linked to its official source.

Panamanian legal source types we structure
Panamanian legal coverage will include primary legislation, secondary legislation, regulatory materials, court decisions, guidance, enforcement documents, and legislative history where available.
Legislation & Regulations
Laws (leyes), cabinet decrees (decretos de gabinete), executive decrees (decretos ejecutivos), resolutions (resoluciones), and the national codes (Código Civil, Código de Comercio, Código de Trabajo, Código Fiscal, Código Judicial, Código Penal), taken directly from the Gaceta Oficial and official publications.
Legislative History
Draft bills (anteproyectos and proyectos de ley) and parliamentary materials from the Asamblea Nacional where available, version by version, each tied to its source.
Regulatory Guidance & Enforcement
Circulars, notices, agreements (acuerdos), resolutions, and enforcement materials from Panamanian regulators such as the Superintendencia de Bancos, the Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores, ASEP, and ACODECO.
Case Law
Court and tribunal decisions from official and authoritative Panamanian sources, including Corte Suprema de Justicia rulings and its Sala Tercera de lo Contencioso-Administrativo decisions where available.
One Panamanian legal data layer. Four ways to use it.
Lawstronaut API
Query Panamanian laws, regulations, court decisions, regulatory guidance, and enforcement materials through a REST API. Use structured metadata, full text, Markdown, source links, and version history to power legaltech products, compliance workflows, and internal research tools. Panama coverage is being onboarded — the endpoint below is live and will return records as coverage lands.
GET /v2/contents?iso=PA&limit=20Lawstronaut MCP
Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, and other AI agents to Panamanian legal sources. Questions become live searches against the corpus and return citation-ready answers grounded in official Panamanian materials — deployable in minutes, with no integration work, once coverage is live.

Why Lawstronaut for Panamanian legal research
Panamanian legal information is spread across the official gazette, the national legislature, ministries, statutory agencies, regulators, courts, and publication sources. For humans, that means slow research. For AI systems, it's a bigger problem: fragmented source access, inconsistent formats, missing provenance, and weak citation trails.
Lawstronaut turns those sources into one structured legal data layer — source links, metadata, full text, versioning, and API/MCP access. Your product or agent retrieves the legal source directly instead of relying on generic web search or unverified model memory. Every answer carries a citation, a timestamp, and a link to the official document — the provenance that makes a legal research platform defensible to auditors and regulators.
About Panama legal coverage
Panama is a civil-law jurisdiction rooted in the Spanish and Continental European tradition, with a unified national legal system codified across the Código Civil, Código de Comercio, Código de Trabajo, Código Fiscal, Código Judicial, and Código Penal. Primary legislation enacted by the Asamblea Nacional is published in the Gaceta Oficial de la República de Panamá, while regulatory policy sits across ministries and statutory agencies — the Superintendencia de Bancos, the Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores, ASEP, ACODECO, and others. The judiciary is headed by the Corte Suprema de Justicia. Legal materials are published in Spanish, the country's official language.
Panamanian law moves quickly: Law 81 of 2019 on the Protection of Personal Data took effect in 2021 and continues to be implemented through executive decrees, and successive fiscal-transparency and anti-money-laundering reforms — which supported Panama's removal from the FATF grey list in 2023 — keep reshaping the compliance landscape, so citations to outdated provisions can simply be wrong. Point-in-time data straight from the source is what keeps a Panama legal research answer correct today.
