ONTIER Peru > Firm Profile

ONTIER is the first global firm where being local is the most important matter, taking full advantage of our proximity to the market and our clients. We believe that being global is not the same as being international. It is the first time that a global firm has been created using this completely unique model, where the local approach defines international strategy.

At ONTIER, every office in every country is comprised of partners who are top legal experts and market leaders in their respective areas. In accordance to our values, we are always able to facilitate efficient solutions to our client’s problems and maintaining the prestige and respect for which ONTIER has been recognized for many years.

ONTIER’s team in Peru has a vast experience and network in the market. It is the perfect example of ONTIER’s ethos, to combine a deep local knowledge and expertise with an international vision and quality of work. Partners Enrique Dupuy, Fernán Altuve, Yessenia Paredes, and Jorge Baca Alvarez have a solid reputation for their track record and are at the forefront of Peru’s legal practice.

ONTIER Peru is the result of a merger between the Peruvian law firm Vicente Ugarte del Pino, founded in 1910, and ONTIER that took place in January 2014. During this century of practice we have had the opportunity to advise not only some of the most important companies of the country but also to the Peruvian Government. In fact, our last President of Honor, Vicente Ugarte del Pino (RIP), was appointed in 2008 as member of the Legal Commission that defended the claim raised by Peru against Chile before the International Tribunal in The Hague.

ONTIER Peru is a full-service law firm with more than 30 lawyers due to the sustained growth of the firm during recent years. While it is active in all areas of legal practice, it stands out for its specialization in corporate law, labour law, energy and natural resources and administrative issues. Some of ONTIER Peru’s areas of expertise include: corporate and M&A, dispute resolution, energy and natural resources, compliance, data protection, TMT, labour and employment, projects and infrastructure and public law.
