Baker McKenzie‘s oil and gas practice offers a ’wealth of experience’ across upstream and midstream activities. This includes assisting companies with securing offshore seismic survey permits in key basins such as the Austral Marine, Malvinas Marine, and Shallow Waters Area. The team also facilitates investments in companies that enable the conversion of natural gas to LNG and the acquisition of oil and gas blocks. The firm also provides ongoing advisory services for day-to-day operational matters, including labour disputes, real estate issues, and corporate governance within the oil and gas sector. The practice is headed by Adolfo Durañona and Roberto Grané, who ‘stand out’ for their corporate and regulatory expertise, and Ezequiel Artola, who advises on cross-border M&A deals. Associate Delfina Ferrario handles disputes.
