Miranda & Amado and Pérez-Llorca have reached a full legal and financial integration agreement to create the leading law firm in Latin America. This is an unprecedented milestone in the Peruvian market: the first complete merger between a leading local firm and a top-tier Latin American law firm.
The integration is expected to be completed in the coming weeks, once the corresponding approvals have been obtained from the governing bodies of both firms.
A platform of Ibero-American dimension
With the addition of approximately 240 members of Miranda & Amado, Pérez-Llorca will reach 1,300 professionals globally, with nearly 700 people in Latin America, consolidating a presence in Mexico, Colombia and Peru that positions it as the reference partner for large international companies, investment banks and financial sponsors with interests in the region.
The complementary strengths of both teams will allow the integrated firm to provide equally robust advice on local transactions and on investment flows to Peru from the United States, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, as well as solidify its position as a key player in major international disputes involving Latin American countries. Miranda & Amado’s partners will join Pérez-Llorca’s governing bodies and assume leadership positions in key international practice areas.
Top-level track record and recognition
Both firms have a proven track record of excellence, recognized by leading international directories: 50 Bands 1 and 2 in Chambers & Partners and 61 Tier 1 and 2 in Legal 500. Miranda & Amado was also recently awarded the Chambers & Partners Client Service Award Peru 2026 and is listed as an Elite firm in Latin Lawyer 250, a distinction it shares with Pérez-Llorca Mexico and Pérez-Llorca Colombia.
Scala Project: an Ibero-American vision
This integration is part of Project Scala, Pérez-Llorca’s initiative to build an integrated Ibero-American firm with consistent service standards and coordinated advisory capabilities in multi-jurisdictional transactions. Following integrations in Mexico (2024) and Colombia (2025) , Peru naturally consolidates the firm’s Latin American presence.
The resulting firm will offer advice on Spanish, Portuguese, European, Mexican, Colombian and Peruvian law from its offices in Barcelona, Bogotá, Brussels, Mexico City, Lima, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Medellín, Monterrey, New York and Singapore, to which a new one will be added in Abu Dhabi during 2026, aimed at supporting Middle Eastern investors in their operations towards the Iberian Peninsula and the Americas.
In the words of Pedro Pérez-Llorca, managing partner of Pérez-Llorca, “the integration with Miranda & Amado represents a new milestone in a project initiated three years ago with a clear ambition: to build a leading, solid, and sustainable Ibero-American firm. Following Mexico and Colombia, Peru strengthens our presence in Latin America and consolidates a growth model based on full integrations with leading firms, with whom we share culture, standards of excellence, and a common vision of the practice of law.”
For his part, José Daniel Amado, founding partner of Miranda & Amado, noted that “this integration is an extraordinary opportunity to combine the reputation, experience, and talent of Miranda & Amado with the international reach of Pérez-Llorca. It stems from the meeting of two firms with the ambition to lead the market, strengthen their local presence, and build an unprecedented global platform in the region.”
Iván Delgado, International Executive Partner at Pérez-Llorca, added that “Latin America is a strategic priority. With this integration, we are taking a qualitative leap in our ability to offer a coordinated, high-value-added service to our clients in the region.”
