Community Relations 

Considering that the success of extractive industries depends upon having good relations with local communities, we advise our clients on the design of programs to build sound relations with those communities, corporate social responsibility initiatives and the negotiation and signing of agreements with the farming communities to obtain access to surface lands and to carry out extractive activities.
