Corporate, Mergers & Acquisitions

In the dynamic Peruvian economy, companies need specialized legal support to effectively adapt to the different needs and changes that will arise during the development of their activities.

At Hernández & Cía. we aim to ensure that our clients find the legal framework most efficient for their particular requirements, whether they are local companies or foreign investors seeking to commence activities in Peru. We therefore advise them on corporate structures, operation, compliance with the laws on operations and decision-making within companies, development of corporate governance policies, formation of consortia and partnerships, joint ventures, and other types of organizations. In addition, we have extensive experience in corporate disputes, either avoiding litigation through negotiations or sponsoring our clients in judicial or arbitration disputes.

Likewise, we are leaders in mergers and acquisitions, with an interdisciplinary team specialized in business purchase operations, whether through the transfer of shares, assets, corporate reorganizations, or other modalities. Participating from either the seller or the buyer side, our team focuses on achieving the closing of transactions based not only on a sophisticated knowledge of the legislation but also on the standards of the international M&A practice.

We have extensive experience in transactions carried out on companies listed on the stock exchange and unlisted companies, including specialized advice to local and foreign investment funds in private equity operations.

Our advice covers corporate and tax planning of operations and subsequent stages: due diligence, contract negotiation, and post-closing direction.
