(Hall of Fame)CMS Grau has a broad mining practice which encompasses expertise in M&A, project development, contentious issues and divestments, and is very much the “go-to” practice for property-rights issues in the mining sector. Moreover, as an international firm, it is well placed to handle domestic, regional and international mandates by virtue of its global network and unsuprisingly acts for a strong roster of high-profile local and global clients. Cecilia Gonzáles
heads the team and has noteworthy corporate and regulatory expertise in the natural resources and the extractive industries; she also handles tax and project planning matters. Liliana Pautrat handles the exploration, exploitation, processing and transportation aspects of mining activities, and has previously held the position of president of the Mining Council of the Ministry of Energy and Mines. A second line of younger partners includes Marité Aragaki, who is the name to note for regulatory matters, and procurement and construction for the extractive industries; and Raúl Ferreyra, another key practitioner, who brings his experience as in-house counsel for a large international mining company to the team.
