About

A Peruvian business group, Grupo Romero is a leader in numerous business sectors as well as one of the most successful and important business entities in Peru. As the current general counsel for the Group, Michel Biber holds a prominent position in Peru’s in-house legal market and is highly regarded for his longevity in the profession. He has worked on numerous large transactions as part of the aggressive expansion of Grupo Romero’s subsidiaries in Latin America. The latest deals Biber has overseen include the 2018 purchase of Peruana Combustibles (Pecsa), a Peruvian operator of fuel service stations, by Primax for around $350m. This is a deal which will see it dwarf competitors as the largest chain of service station in the country. At the time of writing, Biber is assisting another of the Group’s subsidiaries, Inversiones Piuranas, in its purchase of Archer Daniels Midland’s agricultural business in Bolivia.
