A long-standing actor in the mining sector, the practice group at Basham, Ringe y Correa, S.C. has experience throughout the industry, from issues regarding mineral extraction and real estate-associated matters (such as rights-of-way and sub-surface rights) to, mining company incorporation and registration along with licensing and permits. Nevertheless, the team is probably best known for its transactional work related to mining concessions and the purchase/sale of mining companies and mining assets, where the firm’s full service capability allows it to handle related labour, regulatory, tax, water law and contentious matters. Experienced corporate and transactional partner Juan Carlos Serra heads the practice and has deep expertise regarding public bidding as well as energy, infrastructure and mining projects; he leads on transactional mandates – frequently in conjunction with corprorate, transactional and real estate specialist, Jesús Colunga. Experienced associates Pablo Nosti (corporate law, foreign investment and projects), and Iván Sánchez (corporate, M&A and real estate) provide critical input regarding relevant regulatory matters – particularly regarding concessions, water law and real estate issues.
