With a trajectory of more than a century of uninterrupted practice, Pérez Bustamante Ponce (PBP) is established as the leading and undisputed law firm in the Ecuadorian legal market. Operating under a full-service model, the firm specializes in advising multinational corporations, international financial institutions, multilateral organizations, and leading local companies on highly complex transactions, financial structuring, and strategic litigation.
The organization has a multidisciplinary team of more than 100 lawyers and professionals strategically distributed across its offices in Quito (political and corporate center) and Guayaquil (the country’s main commercial and port hub).
A substantial portion of its partners and associates hold postgraduate degrees from the most prestigious universities in the United States and Europe, complemented by practical work experience in top global firms, enabling PBP to align its services with the highest international standards.
To provide cross-border solutions, PBP is the exclusive member in Ecuador of Lex Mundi, a global network connecting over 21,000 lawyers in 100 countries, and participates in elite platforms such as World Services Group (WSG) and the Lawyers’ Club, ensuring coordinated coverage for complex transactions in Latin America, Europe, and Asia.
The firm is committed to pro bono work, considering it essential in the practice of the profession. In 1987, the Fabian Ponce Ordoñez Foundation was created to optimize the resources allocated to the firm’s pro bono service and maximize its reach.
