O'Farrell’s public and economic regulation department counts strengths in environmental and natural resource matters among its capabilities. The team routinely advises energy, telecoms, and construction companies on environmental issues affecting their business operations and proposed corporate and land acquisitions. On the contentious side, its lawyers represent clients in proceedings before judicial and government authorities regarding the suspension of permits and receipt of environmental stop notices. Seasoned litigator Jorge Muratorio heads the practice; he advises companies on ESG matters and regulatory issues affecting bidding processes and proposed developments. Agustín Siboldi and Ana Belén Micciarelli also counsel clients on industry-specific compliance, regulatory issues, and due diligence at the outset of projects. Additional talent within the team includes senior consultant María Fortuna and associate Rebeca Fernández.
