DLA Piper Perú | View firm profile
DLA Piper advised Nacional de Seguros S.A., a Colombian insurance and financial services company, in obtaining authorization from Peru’s Superintendency of Banking, Insurance, and Private Pension Funds (SBS) to operate in the country.
The authorization enables Nacional de Seguros to operate in Peru as a general insurer focused solely on surety bonds, extending the company’s regional footprint in Latin America. The authorization also has the potential to strengthen competition and broaden the range of specialized insurance products available to businesses in Peru.
The DLA Piper team, led by Partner Sergio Barboza and Associate Farah Torres (both Lima), provided legal, corporate, and transactional support throughout the licensing process, including guidance on compliance with the prudential and regulatory requirements applicable to Peru’s insurance sector.
