Rodrigo Elías & Medrano Abogados Once Again Named Peru Law Firm of the Year

May, 2007 - Lima, Peru

Rodrigo Elías & Medrano Abogados has been named Peru Law Firm of the Year 2007 in the Who’s Who Legal Awards. This is the second consecutive time the firm has been recognised in this way, having won the inaugural award last year.

With the benefit of more than ten years of independent research, Who’s Who Legal used the thousands of nominations it has received from clients and private practice professionals across 27 areas of the law to identify the leading firm in 48 countries and five US states. The winners were formally announced in The International Who’s Who of Business Lawyers 2007, a compendium edition of all the individual Who’s Who Legal publications which was released in April.

Editor in chief Callum Campbell said: “It is an outstanding achievement to win the Who’s Who Legal; The International Who’s Who of Business Lawyers Peru Law Firm of the Year Award for a second time. Rodrigo Elías & Medrano Abogados’s continuing success demonstrates its consistent and unparalleled level of individual and collective talent. We have no hesitation in declaring Rodrigo Elías & Medrano Abogados the leading firm in Peru”.

Who’s Who Legal lists only the leading practitioners in each field, based exclusively on the findings of a six month independent research process. Partners from the firm received sufficient nominations from their clients and peers to be listed ten times across nine practice areas in the publication. The firm had more practitioners included than any other firm in the country.

A list of the Rodrigo Elías & Medrano Abogados lawyers included in the publication accompanies this release.

The awards are based on a number of factors, including the feedback received in the ongoing research process, past performance in the research and the overall aggregate number of weighted votes cast in their favour. In addition to identifying the overall leading firm in 48 countries and five US states, the awards also recognise the leading firm and individual in each practice area. The book is distributed free of charge to thousands of corporate counsel and private practice lawyers from around the world. The information is also available without charge on www.WhosWhoLegal.com and is updated on a daily basis.

In 2006, Who’s Who Legal’s parent company Law Business Research was recognised by The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise in the area of international trade, having demonstrated significant growth in overseas earnings and commercial success. These awards are the most prestigious a British company can receive, and are made annually by the Queen on the advice of the Prime Minister, assisted by an advisory committee drawn from government, industry and commerce and the trade unions. In addition, Who’s Who Legal is also the official research partner of the International Bar Association.
