Santiváñez Abogados

Santiváñez Abogados was founded in 1964 in Piura, became a national firm in 2005, and opened its independent Lima office in 2009. Over the years, the firm has grown steadily, strengthened by the integration of specialized boutiques: Energy Partners (energy & infrastructure, 2011), Capella & Delgado (labor law, 2013), Auler & Pinto (corporate & real estate, 2020) and recently, the merger with Martinot Abogados, a corporate and M&A fosed firm with a leading practice in restructuring and insolvency in Peru.

With 50 lawyers in Lima and Piura, we are one of the most dynamic and specialized law firms in Peru, combining over 60 years of legal excellence with industry-focused expertise and boutique-level service that fosters long-term client relationships.
