Spanish

Bueno, comenzaremos por decirle que en el país, la profesión de abogado es una profesión bastante socorrida. Aquí hay una máxima que dice que "Si vienen los médicos, atienden al paciente hasta que cierra los ojos. Los abogados lo atienden hasta que los abre." Esto quiere decir que realmente nosotros hacemos muchas cosas con los abogados al lado. Aquí no se ve mal de ninguna manera que el inicio de un proceso de negociaciones tenga a su costado cada una de las partes, el abogado que lo asesore y que lo haga ver como van yendo las cosas. Esto no está mal visto y por el contrario es muy usado en el Perú.

Well, I'll start by telling you that in this country the profession of lawyer is a profession that is really useful. Here there is a saying that says "If a doctor comes he will wait on you until the patient closes his eyes. The lawyers wait on you until you open them." That is to say that we really do a lot of things with lawyers by our side. Here it isn't seen as negative at all if in the beginning of the negotiations that you have everyone by your side and a lawyer who can advise you and see how things are going. This is not seen as anything bad and quite the contrary, it is very common in Peru.
