What a Peru PPP Lawyer Covers
A Peru PPP lawyer advises on the US legal aspects of public-private partnership and project finance transactions involving Peru, working in coordination with Peru-admitted counsel for local law compliance. Public-private partnerships in Peru—whether for highways, energy facilities, or water infrastructure—raise a distinct set of cross-border legal questions. On the US side, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) imposes anti-bribery and accounting requirements that apply to US issuers, domestic concerns, and certain foreign persons acting in US territory. A US-licensed attorney structures the transaction to satisfy FCPA obligations, reviews financing documents governed by US law, and addresses US securities law considerations when US investors or lenders are involved. The firm’s US-licensed attorneys handle these US-law dimensions, while Martín Mayandía, the firm’s Peru Of Counsel, provides guidance on Peruvian concession law, regulatory approvals, and local contract requirements.
Peru’s legal framework for PPPs is rooted in its civil-law tradition, and the Peruvian government has developed a sophisticated concession regime. A cross-border PPP matter typically requires coordination between US and Peruvian counsel to ensure that the project’s financing, governance, and dispute-resolution provisions work under both legal systems. The firm’s approach is to keep the US-law and Peru-law workstreams clearly separated: US-licensed attorneys manage all US-side analysis, and the Peru-admitted Of Counsel handles Peruvian-law matters. This division respects each jurisdiction’s professional rules and gives the client a single point of contact for the entire cross-border engagement.
How Mr. Sris and His Of Counsel Network Handle Peru PPP Matters
The firm handles Peru PPP matters through a dual-jurisdiction approach: US-licensed attorneys manage all US-law aspects, and Peru-admitted Of Counsel handle Peruvian law requirements. When a client approaches the firm about a Peru infrastructure project, the initial consultation identifies the US-law issues that need attention—FCPA compliance, US securities law implications, financing structures, and any US regulatory approvals. Mr. Sris and the firm’s US-licensed attorneys then work with Martín Mayandía, Of Counsel, admitted to practice law in Peru (2009) and not admitted in any US state bar; his role is limited to Peru-law matters in collaboration with the US-admitted attorneys of the firm. Mr. Mayandía reviews the Peruvian concession framework, assists with local regulatory filings, and advises on Peruvian contract law, while the firm drafts and negotiates the US-law-governed agreements.
This collaborative model allows the firm to serve as a single point of coordination for the entire cross-border transaction. The client receives integrated advice without the need to separately engage and manage two law firms. Throughout the engagement, the firm maintains strict jurisdictional separation: no US-licensed attorney practices Peruvian law, and no Peru-admitted Of Counsel practices US law. The result is a compliant, efficient process that draws on the firm’s extensive cross-border project finance experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Peru PPP lawyer do?
A Peru PPP lawyer handles the US legal dimensions of public-private partnership and project finance transactions involving Peru, coordinating with Peru-admitted counsel for local law compliance. The role includes FCPA due diligence, structuring US-law-governed financing agreements, advising on US securities law implications, and managing the interface between US and Peruvian legal requirements. The lawyer does not practice Peruvian law but works closely with a Peru-admitted Of Counsel who handles concession contracts, regulatory approvals, and other Peru-law matters. This division ensures that each jurisdiction’s professional rules are respected while giving the client a coordinated cross-border legal team. For a consultation on your Peru infrastructure project, contact the firm at (888) 437-7747.
Do I need both a US and a Peru lawyer for a PPP project in Peru?
Yes—a cross-border PPP project typically requires both US-licensed counsel for US-law issues and Peru-admitted counsel for Peruvian-law matters. US-law issues can include FCPA compliance, US securities law, and financing agreements governed by New York or other US law. Peruvian-law issues include the concession framework, local regulatory approvals, and Peruvian contract law. Law Offices of SRIS, P.C. provides the US-licensed attorneys and coordinates with its Peru Of Counsel, Martín Mayandía, so the client has a single point of contact for the entire engagement. This integrated approach avoids the inefficiency of separately managing two law firms while maintaining strict jurisdictional separation.
How does the firm address FCPA compliance for Peru infrastructure projects?
The firm’s US-licensed attorneys conduct FCPA due diligence and structure the transaction to comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. FCPA compliance is a central concern in any cross-border project involving US persons or entities. The firm reviews the project’s participants, payment flows, and government interactions to identify anti-bribery risk. It then advises on appropriate contractual representations, compliance programs, and record-keeping practices. Because the FCPA’s jurisdictional reach is broad—covering US issuers, domestic concerns, and certain foreign persons acting in US territory—early compliance planning is essential. The firm’s US-licensed attorneys handle all FCPA analysis; the Peru Of Counsel does not provide US-law advice.
What should I bring to an initial consultation about a Peru PPP matter?
Bring any existing project documents, a summary of the parties and financing structure, and a description of the US-law issues you anticipate. Helpful materials include term sheets, draft concession agreements, organizational charts of the project entities, and any correspondence with Peruvian government agencies. The initial consultation focuses on identifying the US-law dimensions of the project—FCPA exposure, US securities law considerations, and the choice of law for financing documents—so that the firm can outline a scope of work. The consultation is by appointment only; contact the firm at (888) 437-7747 to schedule.
How do I engage the firm for a Peru infrastructure project?

The firm’s principal location is in Virginia, by appointment only, and consultations can be conducted remotely. All engagements begin with a clear written agreement defining the scope of representation.
