Capital markets

"Great team of extremely knowledgeable lawyers, very pragmatic and efficient. Fast and reliable."

Capital markets: Debt

"With their help, we changed our whole business model to a simpler one. They recommended us to operate through a private investment fund as this would be better for our debt funding. Why? Because here in Peru, we only pay 5% for capital gains on debt, instead of the usual 30%."

Financial services regulatory

"Knows the regulation and the regulator very well due to the great experience he has."
