The insurance practice group at DLA Piper Perú is known for advising international insurers and reinsurers on cross-border and domestic matters. The team has experience handling transactional mandates, including advising insurance brokers on transaction structuring and corporate reorganisations. Sergio Barboza leads the team and draws on substantial experience assisting foreign insurers with entry into the Peruvian market. Barboza is also well-versed in advising clients on cross-border insurance arrangements. The team is further strengthened by Hernán Jordán, who boasts dual experience in litigation and arbitration matters, regularly representing clients in coverage disputes involving catastrophic loss. Also noted is principal associate Farah Torres, who has experience supporting insurance companies with regulatory compliance and investment restructuring. In April 2026, principal associate Nelly Espinoza departed the firm. Since the conclusion of research, the team has been considerably strengthened with the arrival of Gabriel Loli and Rabeth Pareja (formerly practice co-heads at Osterling Abogados) and associates Daniela Bernui and Noelia Piscoya, both of whom arrive as seniors.
