Chile > Environment Tier 2
Launched in January 2020, natural resources and environmental boutique Lawgic Abogados acts for both domestic and international companies from the mining, energy, industry, aquaculture, agri-business, desalination, tourism, and real estate sectors. The group covers the gamut of environmental legal issues, while being increasingly active in administrative and judicial environmental disputes in relation to clients’ major investment projects. Founding partner and environmental practice head Felipe Meneses (a former director of Carey‘s environmental practice) is an environmental, indigenous, and regulatory law specialist; while both Agustín Walker (a former Núñez Muñoz Abogados of counsel) and Sebastian Del Campo (a former Carey senior associate) are water law experts. Key associate support is provided by Constanza Pelayo whose environmental law practice covers project development, regulatory compliance audits, environmental due diligence, and Environmental Impact Evaluation System procedures. Former fellow-associate Rodrigo Quezada exited the firm for the Comisión Nacional de Energía in August 2022, since when the firm has hired Josefina Barriga Martínez from consultancy WSP - effective as of January 2024.Practice head(s):

LAWGIC Abogados > Firm Profile
LAWGIC Abogados was launched in January 2020 as a natural resources and environmental law boutique office co-founded by three former senior associates from Carey Abogados, all of them with significant experience in the field.
Our office is highly specialized in environmental law, water law, energy and mining law. Our client portfolio has exponentially grown since we started in 2020 and includes national and foreign, large, medium, and small companies within different areas such as mining, energy, industry, aquaculture, agribusiness, tourism, and real estate.
What differentiates LAWGIC Abogados is the delivery of a professional service that matches the quality and standard of a large law firm but from a smaller platform, much closer to the client.
