Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- ‘PPU’s team has always stood out for its diversity and because all members are highly knowledgeable about the regulatory details applicable to projects in all their forms. They even include members who have previously served as public officials, which undoubtedly provides them with a strength and advantage over other competing firms.’
- ‘Aouda Del Castillo, Angie Umezawa, and Angelita Ruiz excel within this team, and their work speaks for itself, being part of projects of great scale and importance for our country. Regarding Aouda, she demonstrates herself to be a lawyer who leads assignments related to project execution, is very familiar with the details of the entire process involved, and, most importantly, anticipates the risks and timelines that will arise, having gained valuable experience from working “on the other side of the table” as an adviser to ProInversión and various ministries. She stands out significantly from lawyers at other competing firms.’
- ‘There is no doubt that, compared with other firms, their understanding of the project’s history is extremely deep, a level of knowledge not possessed by any other competitor.’
- ‘Their standout quality is their comprehensive knowledge of the Peruvian market in the infrastructure concessions sector, and of the relevant authorities, ProInversión and the Ministry of Transport and Communications.'
- 'The lead partner is Ronald Fernández Dávila, who heads the legal advice for the project. His qualities include legal rigour, detailed analysis and monitoring of all legal matters, and prompt responses to queries.’
- ‘I would also highlight the lawyers working with Ronald Fernández: Angelita Ruiz, who demonstrates equal professionalism and rigour.'
