Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘DLA Peru's banking & finance team is excellent, for several reasons. First, it is made up of about 7-8 lawyers, all senior, who are trained to lead and close complex and sophisticated transactions. Then, they are experts in both transactional matters and banking regulation. Finally, we like to work with them as they become involved in our processes and our objectives, becoming strategic allies in decision making.'

  • ‘Although they are all top level, I highlight Ricardo Mercado in transactions and Farah Torres in financial regulation, both very experienced and committed, in addition to Sergio Barboza, who leads the banking & finance team.'
