Public Procurement

"Pérez Bustamante & Ponce is one of the largest firms in Ecuador and they have the experience to understand the business and be able to provide legal advice on each of its challenges and circumstances."

“Pérez Bustamante & Ponce are able to successfully handle complex mandates with a client-driven and solution-oriented approach. They always offer top-notch service and practical advice. We are very impressed with their expertise, dedication, thoroughness and efficiency.”

"They have extensive knowledge of the client’s business and the regulations that affect our operations. We love that it is a diverse and highly specialised team. There are expert lawyers in each practice area advising you and I believe that this is the main added value. You do not have the same partner advising you in all areas, but a true specialty and a lot of sophistication."

The firm has a reputation for being one of the country’s best project finance practices. Its work steering the first PPP concessions awarded under the amended legislation is in part responsible for its recognition in this field. The deals, often worth billions of dollars, are among the country’s biggest infrastructure projects. Foreign developers and lenders alike seek Pérez Bustamante’s advice in a range of project finance deals, including the development of bridges, transport systems, ports, government buildings, hydroelectricity dams and state-sponsored technology hubs.

The firm has a solid administrative law department that regularly appears in some of Ecuador’s most important projects, including one of the country’s first PPP projects. The team is equally at home acting for clients in the administrative courts. Port contractors and clients from the oil and gas sector bring in a steady stream of work.
