- It is a very solid team, with extensive knowledge of the Peruvian capital market, the applicable legislation, close ties with the regulator, and knowledge of transactions related to the Peruvian capital market.
- Víctor León Chiri is a lawyer who readily takes the lead and guides transactions toward a practical and swift closing, without neglecting his client's interests. He is very solution-oriented and finds suitable legal structures for the transactions we structure. I believe that, compared to other firms, his client service, proactivity, and quick response stand out. Fernando Molina is a highly respected partner who oversees the transaction and is always kept up-to-date on its progress. He is always available to the client when needed.
- Their expertise is just as good as the top firms in Peru, but I think what sets them apart is their proactivity and close client relationships. They're always one step ahead in the transaction.
