Varela Vidal Abogados

Varela Vidal Abogados is a Peruvian law firm focused on gambling law, market entry and relations with regulators across Latin America. Its office is at Av. Primavera 643, Oficina 502, Surco, Lima.

Services

The firm lists five service lines: gambling law, business structuring, dealings with regulators, M&A and tax. For an operator or a payment company serving gaming customers, this means help with choosing a structure for a new market, preparing for and managing contact with licensing authorities, and handling transactions and tax questions around the entity.

Markets

The geography is wide. The firm names nine jurisdictions:

• Peru and Mexico;
• Dominican Republic and Ecuador;
• Colombia and Brazil;
• Argentina, Paraguay and Chile.

The profile does not say whether the firm operates through its own offices in each country or together with local partners, nor which licences it has handled, so the delivery model for a specific market is worth clarifying at the first conversation.

Who it suits

The firm suits international gaming operators and payment providers that plan a multi-country launch in Latin America and want a single counsel to coordinate regulatory work, corporate structure and tax. Fees and engagement terms are not published.
