Seems slightly odd that a company in Panama would look to hire contractors from the UK unless it's a very niche requirement. Hiring someone from say, Costa Rica, which has a decent growing outsourced IT sector would seem more logical and probably much cheaper.
I did some small bits of freelance work a few years ago for a UK company whose client had end IT customers in Belize and the Cayman Islands but have rarely come across contractors who've done work in the Americas outside of USA/Canada.
I would tread cautiously especially as there was a lot of civil unrest in Panama last year.

Are there any risks of contracting if the client is in Panama? Would HMRC flag that as a dodgy scheme or something?
Thanks
But for me... Client in Panama? Hell no.

We have no idea, but as NLUK would say, don’t let the tax tail wag the contractor dog.
Do everything properly (maybe even contact HMRC to find out) and see how it goes. You might not make the interview stage remember.
