About

Alfredo Daniel Rivero Nieto is a highly experienced Peruvian lawyer with 13 years of experience in successfully leading legal teams specialised in competition law and consumer protection. For nearly a decade Rivero has worked at Fallabella Perú, one of the most pre-eminent economic groups in the country, initially as head of the company’s customer services and subsequently as manager of the newly established self-regulation department. Over this period Rivero has managed more than 500 litigation cases submitted to the National Institute for the Defense of Free Competition and the Protection of Intellectual Property (Indecopi), obtaining an impressive 98% favourable resolutions and establishing a significant number of key original precedents for the local market. Particularly impressive cases for Rivero include resolving 100% of claims that have arisen as a result of a mistake on Fallabella’s web page, winning a litigation filed against Hypermarcados Tottus (a hypermarket chain owned by Fallabella) and successfully shielding Hipermercados Tottus in a case related to price differences between several hypermarket chains in Peru. ‘[Rivero] is an excellent legal professional with strong academic preparation and precise legal criteria applicable to specific cases’, a nominating source shares. ‘He has demonstrated his work value by keeping Grupo Falabella retail companies with a very good reputation in the market and a minimum amount of fines. In the same way, he has been the creator of an in-house area that deals with 100% of cases of consumer protection and competition’. According to the source, while working on specific cases Rivero has demonstrated ‘great capacity for his duties as legal advisor and qualities of a leader in his field’.
