About

The Bitel legal team in Peru is a multidisciplinary team, stretching from the south to the north and east to the west of the country. The department is made up of 25 lawyers and is led by general counsel Raul Galdo. Other notable senior lawyers who support the management of the team include chief of legal services Benjamín Astete Consiglieri, who oversees the main areas of the department, legal services and regulatory affairs, as well as supervise the branch lawyers. In addition to Astete is Rodrigo Vaca, who is in charge of all litigation and legal proceedings related to the deployment of telecom infrastructure of the company. Helen Durand serves as the chief of regulatory affairs and is involved in daily and direct contact with the regulator OSIPTEL and agency of competition INDECOPI, as well as handling disputes with competitors. Most recently, the team has prioritised assigning more specific roles to the lawyers within the team and empowered them with more obligations and tasks. Some of the most significant transactions include assignation on December 2017, of frequency band 2.5 by Ministerio de Transportes y Comunicaciones (MTC). The team has also been involved in local financing and administration litigation in the last 18 months. ‘Our team is confident to succeed and Bitel estimates that [it] will invest US$150m in the band in the next three years’ says Galdo.
