By PPO Abogados

PPO Abogados (PPO) has become the first law firm in the country to receive the Great Place to Work certification from one of the most experienced and prestigious organizations that evaluates workplaces worldwide. The certification is based on a survey that analyzes management practices and an office's work culture.

The Great Place to Work organization has been present in Bolivia for over 30 years and uses a methodology that quantifies employees' experience, commitment, trust, and well-being. Companies intending to obtain certification must undergo an evaluation of their management practices and human resources.

Alejandro Pemintel, Managing Partner of PPO, said, "We strive to attract the most talented professionals in the country. The Great Place to Work certification is evidence that we have created a workplace where our professionals feel motivated and secure, and the conditions are present for them to thrive and excel. The certification prioritizes the well-being of all employees for professional growth, inclusion, genuine learning, care, and empathy."

Established in 2015, PPO employs 127 collaborators, including 67 lawyers, of which 56% are women. PPO is fully committed to diversity and inclusion, which are fundamental values in its corporate culture. The firm is also dedicated to social engagement and actively supports society by investing over 700 hours of pro bono work each year.

Daniela Paredes, PPO Manager, said, "From the moment a new member joins us, we do everything possible to make them feel welcome at PPO. Our open and inclusive attitude contributes to the high job satisfaction of our team and translates into great performance. It is an honor to be the first Bolivian law firm certified as a Great Place to Work, and it shows how over the past three years, after our rebranding, the implementation of our new strategy and values, we have built a culture based on trust and respect."
