Lazo & De Romaña Lawyers

What Lazo & De Romaña Lawyers does

Lazo & De Romaña Lawyers is a privately held, full-service Peruvian law firm headquartered in the San Isidro financial district of Lima, Peru. Founded in 2015 on the foundation of an earlier partnership (with partners tracing lineage back to 2008), the firm operates across 18 distinct practice areas spanning Banking and Finance, Capital Markets, Insurance, M&A, Corporate, Labor, Litigation, Administrative Law and Public Procurement, Arbitration, Real Estate, Projects and Infrastructure, Insolvency/Restructuring, Competition, Intellectual Property, Consumer Protection, Data Protection and Technology, Tax, and Criminal Compliance. It is recognized by at least seven international legal directories, including Chambers Latin America, The Legal 500, IFLR 1000, Latin Lawyer 250, Best Lawyers, Leaders League, and LatinFinance.

The firm's core offering is partner-led advisory work delivered directly to enterprise clients through individualized engagements tailored to matter complexity. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-client (no resellers, marketplaces, or self-serve channels); marketing is driven primarily by directory rankings, the firm's professional website (with periodic legal alerts and news), conference sponsorship (e.g., APEFAC's 5th National Factoring Congress), and LinkedIn. The technology stack is not a material part of the value proposition; the firm provides human-led professional services rather than software or platform-based solutions.

The firm generates revenue through professional services fees billed on a quote/engagement-letter basis across its 18 practice areas, with clients spanning three primary verticals: financial institutions and banking (banks, microfinance entities, insurance, capital market participants), corporate and commercial entities (domestic and cross-border corporations), and government/public sector (municipal, regional, and national entities, including municipal bond issuers). Named engagements include a USD 55 million syndicated credit facility for Energigas led by Banco Santander and BD Capital, the entry of BID Invest as a minority shareholder in Caja Huancayo, and the Municipalidad de Lima's first international bond issuance (winner of the LatinFinance 'Subnational Deal of the Year' award). Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and revenue figures are not publicly reported.
