Coronel & Pérez is a full-service law firm with offices in Guayaquil and Quito. Since its founding in 1975, the firm has served its clients with the highest standards of professionalism, reliability and efficiency. Our attorneys are capable problem solvers and are experienced in handling complex matters involving both the private and public sectors.

Experience and reliability
Our professional staff includes some of the most respected legal professionals working in Ecuador, and has handled cases involving almost every major field of the law. Our attorneys include former bank executives, advisers to government entities, executives from international organisations, and distinguished academics. The diverse background of our staff allows us to better understand the needs of each one of our clients.

Nationwide practice
Coronel & Pérez maintains fully staffed offices in both Guayaquil and Quito, which enables us to directly serve our clients and meet their needs throughout Ecuador. Resident attorneys in each of the offices continually serve our clients, but our commitment to a truly national practice means that most associates and partners spend a large amount of time in both cities.

Strong international focus
The firm is proud of its strong international orientation; our clients include many of the largest international companies doing business in Ecuador and Latin America, and we routinely work together with leading foreign law firms. Several of our members are admitted to practise in jurisdictions other than Ecuador and are able to assist clients in various languages.

Practice areas
Some of the practice areas in which the firm has focused are: arbitration and litigation; civil, administrative and constitutional law; labour and social security; intellectual property and unfair competition; antitrust; telecommunications; tax and customs; oil, energy and mining; corporate, mergers and acquisitions; international trade and investment; banking and finance; and privatisations and concessions of public services and infrastructure.
