About

Provided by Payet, Rey, Cauvi, Pérez Abogados

Our Public Law department is highly recognized, led by our partner Gerardo Soto. It has a strong background in administrative law and regulation, which supports all interactions with governmental entities as required for a full-service firm. Our team handles administrative petitions, proceedings and advisory functions in a wide range of sectors.

Our department has an extensive client base, including important players in regulated sectors. We have also a significant presence in the port sector, advising almost half of the most prominent concessionaires. We also handle litigation on bureaucratic barriers, with proceedings led by Jorge Lazarte to ensure the legality and reasonableness of rules issued by government bodies.

We stand out for our specialized work in highly regulated sectors. We provide comprehensive advice to our clients in obtaining authorizations, permits, municipal licenses and other essential enabling titles. Key areas of focus include network industries, utilities and infrastructure concessions such as ports, airports, rail transportation, natural gas distribution, telecommunications, mining and electricity.

Our firm is considered a national leader in the Public Works for Taxes regime, in which private companies execute infrastructure projects with social impact in exchange for income tax reductions. We advise all our clients at every stage, from the bidding process to the execution of the projects and the resolution of claims.
