The group advises on a range of mining-related projects and transactions; while on the contentious side the team regularly acts in both proceedings before Chile’s civil courts and private arbitrations at the Santiago Chamber of Commerce. Juan Tagle's track record includes mining and desalination construction projects; and Agustín Martorell's experience takes in mining option agreements and administrative sanctioning procedures. The practice also showcases project development, financing and M&A expert Nicolás Yuraszeck K ; and at counsel level, Andrés Laymuns, who regularly leads multidisciplinary teams on local and cross-border mining sector deals.
