Our Firm

Since 1965, Rodrigo, Elías & Medrano Abogados has been at the forefront of the Peruvian legal market, always accompanying our clients as a strategic partner. Our main objective as a law firm is to provide creative and timely solutions adding value to our clients.

We are proud to have participated in the most relevant projects for the development of the country throughout these five decades of professional practice.

SOCIAL COMMITMENT

We are aware of our responsibility as corporate citizens, as well as of the need to use our resources in a supporting way. We strive to contribute to society through teaching and pro-bono activities, giving priority to professional service to people in need in fair cases or matters.

We also provide financial support to outstanding students with scarce resources through the Luis Carlos Rodrigo Mazuré scholarships.

Our Ethics

We are committed to providing quality service and excellence. We act with honesty, ethics, trustworthiness and justice when practicing our profession. We are always within the framework of respect for the law and adherence to the highest ethical and trustworthiness standards, and in strict compliance with the provisions of the Attorneys’ Code of Ethics.

We are inflexible, above all, in the compliance with all anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws, regulation and provisions.

Pro Bono

Our team offers free legal advice (pro bono) to individuals, non-profit associations, national and international NGO’s, and universities on issues with positive impact on society.

“The firm has a strong culture of pro bono work and is a fierce defender of citizens’ rights.”

(Latin Lawyer, 2023: Pro Bono)

Throughout our work we have obtained several national and international recognitions. Some of the most recent are:

  • Law Firm: Pro Bono Leading Light in 2016, 2017 and 2018 by Latin Lawyer and Vance Center.

We presented the results at the School of Law in Toronto.

OUR FOUNDERS

Rodrigo, Elías & Medrano Abogados was conceived to be a standard-bearer in the market.

Our founding partners: Luis Carlos Rodrigo Mazuré, Enrique Elías Laroza (+) and Humberto Medrano Cornejo were pioneers in the modernization of the legal profession in Peru. Their vision was to build a firm that would go beyond the family relationship of its members, giving all their attorneys the opportunity to become partners of the firm.

We are proud to be the first Peruvian firm to ‘democratize’ the partnership access, as well as to invest in technology to provide the best service to our clients. They, through their requests set the course of our practice.

Today, hand in hand with our partners and associates, we build every day a leading firm institution being at the forefront with its own identity, in order to last over time regardless of who we are today.
