Expanding its national presence in March 2025 with the opening of a new office in Manta, Flor Bustamante Pizarro Hurtado Abogados reaffirmed its confidence in both the city’s growing economic significance and its own reach. The new office is led by Andrés Chugá Porras (who joined from his own local firm), whose expertise across dispute resolution, intellectual property, and civil and commercial law leaves him well placed to onboard new clients from the region. Indeed, the breadth of his offering has enabled the firm to make a strong showing in it's first six months and it is already serving a diverse portfolio of clients – including OTECEL, Iche and CONISER – across its principal practice areas of corporate and commercial law, IP, and disputes (& ADR).
