About

Provided by Payet, Rey, Cauvi, Pérez Abogados

Our Firm has positioned itself as one of the most active and well reputed practices in the country. We have grown and merged two very strong mining departments, so we are now able to provide a comprehensive service for our clients, covering all legal matters that are relevant for the mining industry. Our mining practice is very active and we have clients who find our team members trustworthy and highly capable.

We advise on dispute resolution matters involving international actors in international arbitration cases. We also offer specialized advice in taxation, regulated products, personnel hiring and compliance with health and occupational safety obligations, regulatory matters, criminal defense, among others. This versatility within the sector makes the difference for our clients when receiving advice and distinguishes us from other practice groups.

Our team is also experienced in cross-cutting corporate and regulatory matters involving corporate reorganizations serving the purpose of dealing with projects and their components, environmental, permitting and occupational health and safety issues, including challenging decisions of regulators such as OSINERGMIN and OEFA, or even reaching judicial instances such as the Supreme Court. This allows us to thoroughly understand the requirements that projects will have to meet for their future execution and/or exploitation. We can anticipate the needs of the client and the project along with the expectations of the State.
