Fernando Fort Marie

Background

Fernando Fort Marie was born on January 23, 1940, in Lima, Peru. He is the son of Fernando Fort and Violeta Marie Fort, and his family name combines the paternal surname Fort with the maternal surname Marie, in keeping with the Peruvian custom of using two family names.

Lima was Peru's capital and the seat of its principal legal institutions, including the Colegio de Abogados de Lima, the city's bar association. The bar's list of deans begins in 1808, reflecting the long history of organized legal practice in the city.

Education

Fernando Fort Marie studied law at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru in Lima, from which he graduated as a lawyer. The university was founded in 1917 by the Catholic priest Jorge Dintilhac as Peru's first non-profit private institution of higher learning. It began with faculties of letters and law, and in 1942 the Holy See granted it the title Pontifical.

The law faculty was therefore among the university's founding schools. Engineering and political and economic sciences were added in 1933, and a school of education followed in 1935.

Career

Fernando Fort Marie was first admitted to practice in Peru in 1964. He later became a partner of the Lima law firm Fort, Bertorini, Ibarra, Godoy & Sarmiento, which appears in public listings under the name Fort, Bertorini & Godoy Abogados. Founded in 1977, the firm is regarded as one of the most recognized law firms in Lima, with important Peruvian companies among its clients.

A Peruvian corporate annual report for 2022 describes him as the senior partner of the firm, whose work is mainly devoted to advising companies. The firm's practice areas include corporate, banking, finance, insurance, tax and administrative law.

Membership

Fernando Fort Marie is a member of the Ilustre Colegio de Abogados de Lima, the bar association of Lima, whose list of deans reaches back to 1808. He also belongs to the Jockey Club del Perú, a civil association founded in 1946 that promotes horse racing and operates the Hipódromo de Monterrico in Lima.

His memberships also include the Club Nacional, a private club founded in 1855 in the historic centre of Lima. For much of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries it served as a meeting place for the country's aristocracy and prominent families.
