Cuatrecasas demonstrates strong capabilities in transactional matters across the energy sector, particularly in project financing, acquisitions, and the sale of energy assets and infrastructure. The firm has notable experience advising on high-value deals, including conducting due diligence and negotiating the share purchase agreement for Macquarie Asset Management's stake in the Mayakan pipeline. The team also has strengths in dispute resolution, providing counsel on potential arbitration and litigation related to energy projects. The practice is co-led by Marco Antonio de la Peña, a well-regarded energy infrastructure expert; and Juan Pablo Rico, who advises clients throughout the lifecycle of energy asset acquisitions and disposals, and has a notable specialism in decarbonisation. Senior associates Elías Gallardo and Rafael Rodríguez add depth to the practice with focusing on upstream and downstream matters, and pipeline infrastructure, respectively.
