Muñiz, Ramírez, Pérez-Taiman & Olaya, founded by Jorge Muñiz Ziches in 1981, has considerable professional experience and is the largest law office in Peru, playing a prominent role in Peru’s legal circles. Our lawyers have graduated from the most prestigious Peruvian universities and many of them hold a Masters from leading US and European universities, including Columbia University, New York University, Georgetown University, Northwestern University (USA), University of Barcelona, University of Navarra (Spain), among others. Our lawyers have worked under training programmes for leading foreign law offices such as Chadbourne & Parke LLP; Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy; Shearman & Sterling; Dewey & LeBoeuf (USA); Grandall Legal Group (China) and Cuatrecasas (Spain). Several of our lawyers regularly publish legal articles in specialised papers and magazines.

Our firm tries to develop a solid commitment and a long-term relationship with its clients in order to become identified with their business objectives and offer the necessary professional support, coupled with experience, creativity and common sense. Thanks to this approach, our firm has successfully built up an important list of clients, including leading members of the international business community in the industrial, bank, finance, commercial, oil, mining, electricity and other areas. Our firm assigns a lawyer, known as an ‘attaché’, to each client. The attaché is responsible for direct contact with the client and for seeking the most efficient and cost-effective strategy to be applied in each specific case entrusted to our firm. If due to the nature of any given case, the participation of more than one specialised area is required, the attaché will set up an appropriate work team of partners, associates and legal assistants to deal with said case.

Muñiz, Ramírez, Pérez-Taiman & Olaya Abogados is a member of the Pacific Rim Advisory Council (PRAC), an organisation that groups together over 32 of the most important Pacific Rim law offices.
