O'Farrell's long track record in the electricity industry makes it a first port of call for clients seeking seeking sector-specific transactional, regulatory, contractual and litigation advice. The multi-disciplinary practice also covers pubic procurement and anti-trust matters, along with tariff review proceedings, and has also been called in to support the Milei administration with advice on legislative initiatives to open up domestic electricity markets to international competition and investment. The practice is co-led by Uriel F. O'Farrell, a market authority on electricity law and regulation with more than four decades' partner-level experience; Agustín Siboldi, an expert in electricity regulation and an influential figure who holds leadership roles across various industry bodies and fora; and well-regarded public law expert Agustina Fanelli Evans, who is known for her work on regulatory and tariff matters. The team can also call on the experience of litigation partner Jorge Muratorio; economic regulation-focused Ana Belén Micciarelli, who was raised to the partnership in June 2024; and public utilities-focused senior associate, María Fortuna.
