Peru > Real estate

In the real estate field, CMS Grau demonstrates expertise in a variety of matters, including the development of real estate and urban planning projects, construction contracts, land remediation management, and preparations for leases, sales and assignments. On the finance side, the team is well versed in the negotiation of administration trust and guarantee trust contracts. Operating across the energy, infrastructure, housing and mining sectors, the group is led by the experienced Carolina Gajate, who handles housing project developments and the acquisition of rural land for the natural resources projects. At the associate level, Gustavo Atarama concentrates on legal land remediation for commercial and retail projects, while Carmen Assereto focuses on urban and rural property clearance, as well as usufruct rights and purchase options. In July 2023, former practice heads Raúl Ravina and Roberth Rojas, as well as associate Patricia Camacho, left the firm. Since publication, the office has substantially strengthened the practice group with the hire of a six-strong, specialist team (best known for its expertise in rural and agrarian real estate matters) from Rubio Leguía Normand, including partners Franco Soria (who returns to the firm he left in 2019) and Pedro Pablo Castañeda – effective as of March 2025.
