With over 15 years of legal experience in both the public and private sectors, I have developed an integrated understanding of Peru’s regulatory environment and institutional infrastructure. My professional trajectory spans policy drafting, legal reform promotion, technical assistance to infrastructure and energy projects, and socio-environmental conflict resolution. This exposure to the full investment lifecycle in Peru has equipped me to anticipate risks, facilitate regulatory navigation, and promote legally sound, socially conscious investment strategies.
Having served in pivotal institutions such as the Ministry of Energy and Mines, the Ministry of the Environment, and the Ministry of Economy and Finance, I possess an insider’s view of the State’s operational logic—its bottlenecks, opportunities, and evolving regulatory culture. This perspective enables me to align investment strategies with both legal requirements and the broader institutional context, reducing uncertainty and strengthening governance outcomes.
Just as they do at DWF’s Latin American Practice Group, I advocate for responsible investment guided by legal clarity, operational efficiency, and ethical engagement with stakeholders. For international investors, this means adopting a legal strategy that is fluent in both the language of compliance and the language of value creation. It must protect the investor’s interests while respecting institutional norms and community legitimacy.
In sensitive sectors such as energy, environment, and infrastructure, legal foresight is not optional—it is indispensable. Beyond reactive problem-solving, legal work should anticipate tensions, prevent delays, and foster trust. This preventive, adaptive mindset is what I bring to every engagement: legal counsel grounded in rigor, contextual awareness, and a commitment to sustainable development
Through my collaboration with DWF, I stand ready to support clients in navigating the legal and institutional terrain of Peru’s regulatory sectors—ensuring that their projects not only meet formal compliance standards but also earn lasting legitimacy in the eyes of regulators and society alike.
