- They are very good at customer service. They know their stuff and the market.
- Knowledge and keeping the client informed about the progress of the cases.
- Wilfredo Rojas is the leading expert in litigation and debt recovery. His main strength lies in the practical knowledge he has accumulated over years of consistent work before Bolivian courts, which allows him to anticipate procedural scenarios, judiciously manage the contingencies inherent in litigation in Bolivia, and guide clients with a realistic approach regarding expected timelines and outcomes.
- Adriana Salazar, who, despite transitions within the PPO team, successfully led and completed all projects. Her risk-benefit assessments are always accurate, allowing us to provide a solid and strategic legal response to our needs. Diego Bohrt, a partner, makes a competitive difference thanks to his strong technical knowledge and his ability to instill confidence; his recommendations balance client expectations while still pursuing favorable outcomes. Meliza Aliaga, whose organized management and constant visibility into the stages of legal proceedings prevent monitoring from becoming a burden for the in-house legal team, greatly facilitates our supervisory work.

They don't just issue legal opinions, but also provide strategic solutions aligned with corporate objectives, particularly in civil litigation and regulatory compliance. -From an in-house counsel's perspective, their main strengths lie in: (i) their capacity for rigorous legal analysis, (ii) their preventive and strategic approach to risk management, and (iii) their high availability and close communication. The team demonstrates efficient handling of complex cases, with consistent and well-founded criteria, which inspires confidence in decision-making. -Compared to other firms, PPO Indacochea is favorably positioned, especially due to its direct involvement in matters, avoiding overly hierarchical structures that often dilute the quality of service.
