About

April 2017 saw Oscar Eyzaguirre appointed to the role of legal director for Peru at Credicorp Capital, a financial services firm that has undergone a number of changes within its legal function since Eyzaguirre’s arrival. Showing his capabilities, he has recently undertaken an expanded remit within the firm and now occupies the general counsel and corporate secretary position. As part of his new responsibilities, he has sourced and brought in new legal talent as well as overseen a reorganisation campaign. He describes his new look team as being ‘complete’, and is now working on ‘consolidating the new legal department by establishing internal procedures’ including small working teams for the most challenging matters as well as the promotion of ‘more interaction between the legal staff in order to take full advantage of the expertise of everyone in the team’. Eyzaguirre started his career practicing at Peruvian law firm Miranda & Amado, and this period included work on the closing of highly complex transactions and the establishment in Peru of two of the largest banks in the world: Deutsche Bank and HSBC.
