Diversity
At Payet, Rey, Cauvi, Pérez Abogados, we believe that diversity is not just a policy, but an integral part of how we practice law. We promote environments where every individual can reach their full potential, free from any form of discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, or physical and social condition.
Recognized leadership in the region
We have been consistently recognized in the Chambers Latin America Awards over the past six editions, with nominations and distinctions across various Diversity and Inclusion categories. This commitment has also been highlighted by other legal rankings and awards in the region, such as the Legal Marcom Awards and IFLR1000. Taken together, these recognitions position us as a leading firm in diversity and inclusion within the legal sector in Latin America.

Our five diversity pillars
We work across five pillars that guide our actions and translate into concrete initiatives within the firm:
Promovemos la conciliación de la vida familiar con el desarrollo profesional, otorgando licencias de maternidad y paternidad con opciones de retorno progresivo, licencia por adopción, entre otras.
Nuestro compromiso está enfocado al 100% en una cultura con diversidad e inclusión donde se prohíbe todo tipo de discriminación por razones de identidad y expresión de género, orientación sexual, raza, religión, condición física o social.
We provide access to our health insurance plan for the partners of our LGTBIQ+ members. We also have guidelines for the use of the chosen name of trans individuals and guidelines for inclusive communication.
We have a pre-professional internship program exclusively for law students with disabilities, as well as a pre-professional internship program aimed at law students from universities across different provinces of Peru.
We implement policies and guidelines for each of our five pillars: women’s empowerment, LGTBIQ+ inclusion and rights, work-life balance for mothers and fathers, disability inclusion, and socio-economic, racial, ethnic, and geographic inclusion.
