We have a vast experience and involvement in the power market and are highly specialized in the energy sector, having successfully represented clients in administrative controversies before Peruvian regulators, investigations and sanctioning procedures related to Competition Law, judicial litigation, and in both domestic and international commercial and investment arbitration proceedings.
