Beccar Varela

Beccar Varela supports clients along all stages of the electricity supply chain, including generation, transmission, distribution and consumption, working with companies active in the thermal, hydro, wind, solar, biogas, hydrogen and nuclear segments. The team is well-versed in government privatisations, international bidding rounds and concession contract renegotiations; it is particularly well-known for its renewable energy expertise, advising on financing and public bid processes. Other areas of expertise include EPC contracts, risk assessments and capital structures. An experienced practice leadership team includes accomplished energy and natural resource practitioner José Carlos Cueva; and Ricardo Castañeda, a go-to lawyer for energy companies seeking counsel on M&A, project finance and day-to-day corporate matters. Since publication, the team has been further strengthened with the hire of Jimena Vega Olmos, formerly co-head of the electricity team at Martínez de Hoz & Rueda, in July 2025; her practice encompasses public law, infrastructure, power, project financing and international arbitration matters, with thermal energy and renewables particularly active practice segments.
