Lima, April 2024 - Miranda & Amado, recognized as one of the leading firms in the Peruvian legal market, celebrates this year its twenty-fifth anniversary of uninterrupted service to its clients, both locally and globally.
Since its foundation in 1999, the firm has stood out for its commitment to excellence, ethics, and innovation. Its eight founding partners, most of them around thirty years old, came together under a common purpose: to do things differently.
"For Miranda & Amado, 'doing it differently' means adopting an innovative and differentiated approach in the provision of legal services. It means going beyond conventional expectations and constantly seeking new ways to address legal challenges. This can include the application of creative solutions, the use of cutting-edge technology, and a commitment to social responsibility, as well as personalized attention focused on the specific needs of each client", indicated Luis Miranda and Mauricio Raffo, managing partners of the firm.
During these 25 years of trajectory, Miranda & Amado has accumulated significant achievements, leaving an indelible mark on the legal sphere of the country. The firm exceeds US$61 billion in advised corporate and financial transactions and US$30 billion in advised infrastructure and natural resources projects, having participated in various innovative and "first-of-its-kind" deals in Peru. Likewise, they have demonstrated their commitment to social responsibility and access to justice for all citizens through Pro Bono work, offering free legal services to less privileged individuals or communities, and the organizations that assist them.
A fundamental pillar in the success of the firm is undoubtedly the highly qualified, multidisciplinary, and committed team that integrates it, currently consisting of 117 lawyers and 59 administrative staff.
"At Miranda & Amado, we are excited to celebrate this significant milestone in our history. Over these 25 years, we have worked tirelessly to offer our clients the highest quality legal solutions and to contribute to the country's development. This anniversary not only marks a milestone in our journey but also propels us to continue advancing and exceeding expectations in the future. We are grateful for the trust that our clients have placed in us all these years, and for the commitment and dedication of our talented team", indicated the managing partners.
