Estudio Echecopar

Estudio Echecopar maintains a strong team of specialists well-equipped to advise on an array of topics, including dispute resolution in exploration, refining and transportation; commercial and regulatory aspects; and matters involving interaction between the government and foreign oil-and-gas companies. Co-head Jorge Danós’ expertise in public law allows him to offer comprehensive counsel on regulatory, licensing and permitting matters. Valentín Paniagua, an authority on natural resource transactions, further co-heads the team; while Ana María Arrarte specialises in dispute resolution and plays a key role in the handling of contentious cases between state and private agencies. Also integral to the group are senior associates Claudia Pacora (M&A and due diligence); and Hugo Alonzo (negotiation and arbitration).
