Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría’s environmental law team ‘embodies professionalism, commitment and experience’, according to satisfied clients. The group strikes a balance between regulatory, transactional support, and contentious work, with the ability to support clients at every stage of the environmental law process. In a precedent-setting matter, the group recently represented Grupo Prodeco on the termination of a project’s mining title, including the closing of environmental licences and authorisations with the environmental authority, which was a procedure not covered by Colombian regulations. Go-to environmental specialist Luis Fernando Macías led the firm’s advice to Grupo Prodeco, with support from talented principal associate Alexander Acosta. The group also includes principal associate Iván Páez, who is highlighted as ‘an expert in environmental matters’, and senior associate María Alejandra Gómez, who is noted for her ‘extensive knowledge of current environmental regulations’. Since publication, Páez has been promoted to practice director – effective as of December 2023.
