En varias ocasiones, sobre todo en los últimos tiempos, hemos visto con preocupación cómo se confunde la personalidad del agente residente con aquélla de las sociedades que incorporamos como parte de nuestro ejercicio profesional.  Resulta ya hasta común encontrar titulares en los medios de comunicación que responsabilizan a los agentes residentes panameños por las investigaciones y procesos judiciales que contra sociedades panameñas se ventilan en otros países.

En ese momento, muy en lo personal me he percatado de que quizás hemos dado por sentado que quien recibe la información, procesa, investiga y difunde la noticia, tiene completamente claro cuál es el concepto y la función del agente residente en nuestro país.

Lo realmente cierto es que quien recibe la noticia posiblemente tampoco lo tenga claro. Y cuando esta noticia, fundamentada en concepciones erradas o imperfectas alcanza la esfera internacional, el impacto que resulta es adverso a las gestiones de promoción que se realizan para la atracción de inversión extranjera hacia nuestro país y la consolidación de la reputación de nuestra plataforma de servicios a nivel internacional.

De allí la importancia de que quienes actúan como fuentes calificadas de información, manejen a cabalidad estos conceptos.

Qué es entonces la figura del Agente Residente? 

En nuestra legislación, la figura tiene su génesis en la Ley 32 de 1927, que hoy en día es la Ley que regula el tema de las sociedades anónimas en nuestro país. Dicha Ley, en su artículo 2, ordinal 7, establece que toda sociedad anónima debe tener un agente en la República de Panamá, el cual puede ser una “persona jurídica”.

La norma tal como fue redactada dejaba abierta la posibilidad que cualquier persona, natural o jurídica, con independencia de su profesión u oficio, pudiese fungir como agente residente de una sociedad anónima.

No fue sino hasta el año 1966, cuando mediante el Decreto 147 de 4 de mayo de ese año, que reglamentó la inscripción de ciertos documentos en el Registro Público, se especificó que únicamente podía ser agente de una sociedad anónima, “un abogado o una sociedad de abogados hábiles para ejercer la profesión”.

La calificación introducida por este Decreto obedeció a que cuando quien representa a una persona jurídica, actúa en representación de ella ante las autoridades, esa representación no la hace en nombre propio sino en nombre y representación de una persona distinta, y este tipo de representación o actuación por ley está reservada a los abogados.

Así quedamos entonces los abogados, en forma individual o colegiada, a través de las firmas de abogados, encargados de la protocolización e inscripción en el Registro Público, de los pactos sociales que dan vida jurídica a las sociedades anónimas, con independencia de que las mismas vayan a tener operaciones dentro o fuera de Panamá.

Lo cierto es que la incorporación de sociedades ha sido siempre parte de nuestro ejercicio profesional y nuestra función como agentes residentes ha sido el servir de enlace entre las autoridades panameñas o terceros y nuestros clientes, sin que esto nos otorgue la capacidad para obligar y comprometer a la sociedad o la facultad para actuar en representación de ésta.

Y es que la Corte Suprema de Justicia ha manifestado en varias ocasiones que los agentes residentes tenemos un deber de cooperación y colaboración con las autoridades competentes del Ministerio Público, para los fines de persecución de los delitos.

Los abogados, como cualquier otra persona, estamos obligados a otorgar de oficio, cuantas notas, datos e informes nos soliciten los agentes del Ministerio Público cuando éstos actúen en defensa de los intereses públicos o como funcionarios de instrucción. Esta obligación está contenida en el Artículo 391 del Código Judicial.

Pero esta labor de cooperación no debe confundirse con una vinculación del agente residente con las acciones o gestiones derivadas de las operaciones de las sociedades que incorporamos. Los agentes residentes no somos responsables por el actuar comercial de estas sociedades, por el solo hecho de fungir como tales.

Sometimes muscle is the name of the game, and that’s where the Honda CB1000R comes in. No other machine offers this level of performance combined with a comfortable, do-it-all riding position and an off-the-charts sense of style. What makes this supersport motorcycle stand out from the rest? Al Lamb’s Dallas Honda designed the CB1000R with a special chassis that puts the 998cc engine out front and center, allowing the rider to sit more upright. The result: This machine is one of the most versatile open-class sportbike motorcycles the world has ever seen.

Built with a 998cc DOHC inline-four engine, the CB1000R offers plenty of torque and power for street riding. And with a four-cylinder, it’s a smooth ride for longer rides as well. Rather than cover up the muscular engine, Honda designers left it open front and center for all to admire. And every rider can agree – stripped bikes just look cool. The styling touches don’t stop there. The street bike motorcycle shows off with a single-sided swingarm, gravity die-cast aluminum mono-backbone frame, 43mm inverted fork and lowboy-style muffler.

Smart bikes also have smart features, and the CB1000R is no different. Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) provides clean throttle response and both low- and high-rpm performance. Adjustable brake and clutch levers allow the rider to fine-tune the riding environment and controls for their unique riding style. Plus, the sportbike motorcycle includes radial front-brake calipers that ensure exceptional brake feel, performance and stopping power. When you need a machine that can do it all and do it well, the CB1000R is your ride.

Cyclists are prone to injuries that result from trauma from falling off the bike or injuries that develop over time as a result of overuse. If you have a cycling injury, it is important to find the best surgeon for cyclists in your area.

Cycling Injuries

Cycling injuries can usually be attributed to one of two issues: overtraining or trauma. Cyclists usually bike at 15-20 miles an hour or even higher, which makes the impact of a fall quite significant. At the same time, cyclists have very little protection from injury because of the open nature of riding a bike. Injuries are usually more severe if another car was involved in the accident.

Although cycling is considered a low-impact sport, overuse injuries can still occur with high-level training. Biking places strain on the wrists, knees, and ankles, especially if you do not give your body time to heal or if you use improper form.

Finding a Surgeon

You can research surgeons by asking for recommendations or by searching online for doctors in your area. As you learn about the surgeons in your area, look for these key features, which are associated with superior treatment:

• Expert in sports medicine – Athletes have distinct needs from the general population, and it is important that your doctor is able to address those needs fully.
• Expert in bicycle injuries – Cyclists are prone to particular injuries, and a doctor who frequently works with cyclists will be familiar with your situation, as well as the factors that contributed to it.
• Experienced in the field – All board-certified physicians have undergone extensive education and training, and are skilled professions. However, doctors continue to develop their skills and judgment as they spend years working in the field, so a more experienced doctor is often beneficial.
• Dedicated to using minimally invasive procedures – There are a number of minimally invasive procedures now available for orthopedic problems; the doctor should be dedicated to using minimally invasive procedures whenever possible.
• Good bedside manner – You should be able to communicate clearly with your doctor about your questions and concerns, and get clear communication about your condition and the course of treatment.
