A major energy company in Argentina, Medanito provides both upstream exploration of oil and natural gas (including shale) and mid-stream processing of natural gas, as well as the generation of electrical power. Owning three production assets and stakes in further ones, the portfolio of responsibilities for the company’s legal team to tackle are many and varied. Fortunately, the company has a top-class legal function to enable this.

Leading the team is Gonzalo Vaca Arenaza, an oil and gas specialist with seven years of experience at the company who reports directly to the board of directors and provides a legal aspect to their discussions. In support of him, the highly regarded team is able to count on the expertise of Fernando Esteban Carosio, another experienced lawyer who is equally capable in advising on corporate matters as well as energy related issues.
