Fernando MolinaGrupo Evans

Emerging from the dissolution of Cubillos Evans Abogados in late 2021, Grupo Evans‘ six-member environmental law practice comprises partners and associates, whose careers include working at governmental agencies and public institutions. The team assists with project developments’ day-to-day issues, and is increasingly active in environmental damage actions, in addition to routinely advising governmental agencies on the assessment of current regulations. Other areas of notable strength are sustainability, recycling, clean energy, and waste management and recovery. With ‘vast experience‘, Fernando Molina has wide-ranging experience in environmental, regulatory and energy matters; while Aurelio de Diego is a former director of Endesa Chile’s hydroelectric and non-conventional renewable energy projects for Latin America. At of counsel level, Yordana Mehsen Rojas advises primarily on project development, and Gianfranco Riaglianti is a sustainability and waste management specialist. Names to note in the associate group include Nicolás Galli, whose focus is on obtaining environmental and sectoral permits, defence-side sanctioning procedures, and litigation against the environmental authorities; and Elisa Anguita, who specialises in environmental, administrative and regulatory law.
