The ‘exceptional' lawyers in Tactic Legal's energy practice stand out for their expertise in the oil and gas and mining sectors, drawing on extensive experience advising multinationals in these fields on regulatory and permitting issues, in addition to environmental and social compliance. The team also has strong suits in M&A, joint ventures and corporate governance in the energy sector, and in both civil and criminal litigation relating to mining and hydropower projects, joining forces with litigation directors Daniel Marroquín and David Barrientos. Carlos Rafael Pellecer, an expert in mining, energy and environmental law, leads the team with Manuel Arturo Soto, who advises on regulatory and contractual issues, oil industry specialist Rodolfo Sosa and José Javier Sosa, who advises on renewable energy and environmental matters. Since the conclusion of research, the firm has merged into Costa Rica's Tactic Legal (by which name it is now known), as part of the development of a regional firm which also has offices in El Salvador and Honduras.
