PPO Abogados, highly recommended firm by Latin Lawyer 250
By PPO Abogados
“PPO has plans to strengthen a broad range of transactional practices – such as mergers and acquisitions and finance – and non-transactional services, including intellectual property, international arbitration, tax, public procurement and commercial litigation. In March 2021, PPO made good on that plan: it added the managing partner of intellectual property boutique ORPAN – Pilar Soruco – to its partnership, in the firm’s first lateral hire at partner level since it launched last July,” the ranking states.PPO also wants to deepen its knowledge of strategic industries such as energy, mining, hydrocarbons, telecoms, retail and food and beverages. To that end, the firm strengthened its energy and natural resources department by hiring an in-house lawyer from oil company Shell as senior counsel in September 2021.
In addition to its existing offices in La Paz, Santa Cruz and Cochabamba, PPO added an outpost in Sucre in December 2020 and one in Cobija in March 2021.
