We are leaders in Project Finance. We have actively participated as legal counsel in the financing of some of the most important and complex projects that have been developed in Peru — by means of bilateral loans, syndicated loans, bond issuances in the capital markets, transfer of irrevocable collection rights, and other structures, locally and internationally. We advise investors and sponsors, as well as lenders, financial institutions, investment funds, export credit agencies, multilateral institutions, and corporations.
Our team is highly specialized and has extensive experience in every stage of projects in all sectors and industries, including energy, oil and gas, mining and infrastructure — from the award, development, financing and execution of a project, to its operation and maintenance. Our experience, capabilities and teamwork allow us to provide our clients integrated advice in the local and international financing of projects.
