Martínez de Hoz & Rueda

Martínez de Hoz & Rueda regularly advises domestic and international clients on corporate structuring for lithium and copper mining projects, day-to-day regulatory compliance, and environmental permitting. The team is also involved in complex arbitration proceedings and counsels clients on the regulatory landscape governing mining rights, environmental obligations, and tax incentives. The 'dynamic' team is led by Tomás Lanardonne, who advises on the development, financing, and regulatory aspects of mining projects, and Marcos Blanco, who supports clients in tender processes, contract negotiations, and M&A matters. Public lawyer Juan Cruz Azzarri advises on regulatory frameworks and public bids, while corporate lawyer Fernando Zoppi focuses on cross-border M&A transactions in the mining industry. Since publication, the firm has profoundly strengthened and expanded the team with the hire of the entire mining team formerly at Alfaro Abogados, including the deeply experienced Ignacio Celorrio (corporate, regulatory, and institutional matters in the mining sector); fellow partners Nicolás Ferla (mining-related environmental counsel - particularly as regards transactions) and Andrés Villarreal (mining M&A); and counsel Federico Palavecino (mining-related tax advisory)
