We advise local and foreign mining companies at various stages of development, including exploration, construction, operation, and closure. We have a specialized team in mining regulatory and environmental matters, as well as in the analysis of mining titles and surface rights, which allows us to meet the legal needs of various mining activity holders, including junior mining companies and those involved in large and medium-scale mining. We also have extensive experience in negotiating mining transfer agreements, option contracts, joint venture agreements, and other sector-specific contracts.

We regularly advice in the processing and obtaining of permits and authorizations, environmental certifications, and any other enabling title necessary for a mining holder to develop their activities. We also have extensive experience in representing clients in administrative sanctioning procedures before OEFA, OSINERGMIN, the Mining Council, ANA, and other authorities.

We have an expert team in corporate transactions related to the sector, including mergers and acquisitions, financing and capital markets. Our team regularly advises sponsors and mining operators, as well as financial entities, institutional investors, investment funds, and other investors.

We also offer specialized advice in taxation, regulated products, personnel hiring and compliance with health and occupational safety obligations, regulatory matters, criminal defense, litigation, among others.
