Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- ‘The team is distinguished by its ability to provide innovative and effective solutions, always maintaining constant and transparent communication with clients.’ \n‘The lawyers’ experience in specific areas of law, combined with their mastery of local and international regulations, enables them to provide high-quality service in all legal aspects. Fernando Zuzunaga and Luciana Yañez stand out in this regard.’ \n‘The team is of a high calibre, with personalised work and the willingness of its lawyers to deliver within tight schedules being its distinguishing feature.’ \n‘Their personalised work and the favourable results they achieve stand out.’ \n‘It is evident that the team processes, analyses, and manages relevant data on tax processes/procedures, using this knowledge to develop tax strategies for cases in dispute, but especially in the pre-dispute stage (preventive approach). Additionally, the firm has benefited from professionals with diverse experience, including those from the Tax Administration/Tax Tribunal, giving it a comparative advantage over firms providing similar services.’ \n‘The partners of the firm are actively involved in clients’ tax consultations and processes/procedures, so that even when tasks are delegated within the teams, it does not mean the partner disengages from the most relevant/substantial aspects of the assignments, consultations, or tax procedures. This close involvement of partners (Fernando Zuzunaga, Lorgio Moreno, Manuel Carrión, and Juan José Assereto) is a differentiating element compared with other practices.' \n‘Comprehensive and profound knowledge of Peruvian tax law, with great capacity to deliver high-quality outputs within short deadlines.’ \n‘Extensive experience and knowledge of Peruvian tax law. I would highlight Fernando Zuzunaga, one of the best tax lawyers in Peru, and Socorro Nuñez, who has enormous experience in tax procedures.’
