Our firm provides legal counsel across a broad spectrum of transactional and regulatory spheres. Furthermore, we deliver tailored guidance aimed at formulating strategies and solutions precisely attuned to the unique exigencies of each project. This experience has positioned us as advisors in some of the most prominent mining projects, both in Chile and abroad, covering diverse minerals such as copper, gold, iron ore and lithium, among others.
Our team maintains close relationships with experts in the major natural resource financial markets, including Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as their respective stock exchanges. We engage in collaborative endeavors with these experts to bolster undertakings within the mid- to large-scale domains of the mining, power generation and transmission sectors.
