Boosted by its July 2024 merger with Martinot Abogados which brings strong credentials in bankruptcy work, the now 50-layer strong Santiváñez Abogados has a strong specialisation in electricity matters and holds a prominent position in the Peruvian power sector. The firm assists a diverse clientele - including public sector entities, power distributors, and generators - with various corporate and financing transactions, along with M&A, project development, regulatory guidance and litigation. The team is jointly led by regulatory-issues expert Fidel Rocha, energy specialist Paul Sumar, and Roberto Santiváñez, who is highly praised by clients for his prowess in commercial and regulatory matters involving the electricity system. At associate level, Abel Venero and Sandra Acosta handle both transactional and regulatory matters; with senior associate Jose La Torre recognised for his capable management of electricity and mining-related administrative procedures, BOOT-contract negotiations and concession agreements.
