Jorge Reátegui > Hernández & Cía > Lima, Peru > Lawyer Profile

The ‘excellent and very committed’ Hernández & Cía is particularly active in public and private project developments and advises clients on acquisitions and sales, leasing, financing, zoning, land use and construction. The practice draws on strength from the firm’s corporate, finance, mining and tax practitioners for support on real estate matters and acts for clients in the retail, hospitality and mining sectors, among other areas. Practice head Jorge Reátegui is a key contact for urban and rural property rights, surface rights and project development, and at the senior associate level, Alan Pasco, Angela Salazar and Tely Porcel are recommended, with Pasco handling transactional matters, Salazar dealing with environment and mining issues, and Porcel being a name to note for infrastructure, construction and public law matters.

The May 2023 arrival of former Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uria principal associate Carlos González Prada as a partner completed a recruitment process at Hernández & Cía that had previously seen the firm hire senior associates Natalia Gallardo and Tely Porcel (in Janaury and Septemeber 2022, respectively), profoundly consolidating the practice led by José Manuel Abastos and Jorge Reátegui. Abastos is a well known finance and transactional practitioner with particular expertise in relation to PPPs, concessions and infrastructure, while Reátegui’s strength in real estate matters translates in the public law arena into extensive know-how regarding the acquisition of rights, regulatory affairs, and licensing and certifications with regard to land and property usage. Administrative law specialist González Prada brings additional experience regarding sancitons and licensing to the group. Along with mandates in the highway concessions, mining and auotmotive sectors, recent activity has seen the team particularly active in the water and sanitation, retail and chemical areas.
