About

Headquartered in Switzerland, ICARE Group offers project development, procurement and engineering services globally through its three group companies ICARE Energy, ICARE Procurement and ICARE Engineering. Despite being based in Peru, tri-lingual general counsel Myriam Samaniego works on the Group’s worldwide projects, including in Peru, Venezuela, Argentina, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Irak, and Botswana. ‘Since I started working for ICARE Group, the company has substantially expanded its activities worldwide. I believe my major strength for the company is that I have been able to adapt constantly to different working environments and legislations, providing advice under different laws’, she explains. Samaniego joined the Group in 2013 and her role includes advising on legal and contractual issues, negotiating and developing agreements, participating on trade negotiation as well as the implementation and monitoring of contingent liabilities and archiving. Prior to ICARE, she was supervisor of the technical cooperation department at Peru’s Office of Comptroller General. Before that, she was an associate at law firm Estudio Echecopar (part of Baker McKenzie) in Peru for two years.
