Highlighted for its 'deep knowledge of the legal framework for PPP schemes in Peru', Hernández & Cía provides guidance on project finance, public procurement, concessions and permitting matters. Co-head José Manuel Abastos has significant experience in project finance and regulatory matters, while fellow team lead Brendan Oviedo provides expertise on M&A, general financing and project development, with a focus on the energy and infrastructure industries. At the senior associate level, standout practitioners include Ana Vidal (promoted to senior in February 2024), who is experienced in structuring infrastructure projects across a range of segments; Lourdes Luna, a construction law specialist; and Julien Labory-Alicq, who excels in financing matters. Since publication, the practice group has been considerably strengthened with the hire of much of the projects team formerly at DLA Piper Perú, including Carlos Núñez (who also handles projects and construction-related disputes matters), principal associate Ramiro Rubio, senior associate Silvia Otárola, and associate Diego Romero.
