The litigation practice at Hernández & Cía was given a significant boost in early 2023 with the arrival of Javier de Belaunde López de Romaña, Samuel Abad, Enrique Johanson and senior associate Federico de Cárdenas from Estudio Echecopar member firm of Baker McKenzie International and Sheilah Vargas from Sheilah Vargas - Litigios y Arbitraje. The practice offers clients expertise in areas such as tax, constitutional, administrative, civil and contractual litigation matters, with recent work examples including assisting Equinox International in a judicial process against the tax court and SUNAT. The team is headed by Jorge Luis Zubiate, who has specialist experience acting as a legal advisor to banks, financial services, mining and fishing companies. Associate Sebastián Linares Luna is also recommended.
