Carvajal Machado Abogados

Lauded for its 'solid knowledge of environmental matters' and 'extensive experience in the field', the team at Carvajal Machado Abogados advises clients - particularly those in the mining and energy sectors - on a range of environmental mandates. Core areas of expertise include environmental due diligence, environmental impact assessments, waste management, permits and authorisations, and administrative litigation. A recent mandate of note saw the group advise Deacero on waste management, emissions, environmental impact and authorisations at the federal, state and municipal levels. Gustavo Carvajal, who garners praise for his 'profound ability to resolve complex issues', steers the practice and focuses on regulatory law, public policy matters and environmental litigation. Also noted are administrative litigation specialists Juan Pedro Machado and the 'deeply committed' Pilar Galván; and associate Jorge Gómez de Silva, who handles urban and ecological planning and land use matters, and can draw on experience advising oil-and-gas and mining-sector clients on the regulations applicable to natural protected areas.
