Clients commend Rodrigo for the ‘proactive approach’ and ’technical knowledge’ of its practitioners, whose backgrounds span M&A, project finance and development across the mining, infrastructure and energy sectors. The practice is well equipped to advise domestic and international clients on investments, public, private and PPP projects, tender processes, contract negotiations and regulatory compliance. The team is led by a trio of partners: Jean Paul Chabaneix, who boasts vast experience in project finance; Luis Carlos Rodrigo Prado, who stands out for his deep knowledge of the mining industry, and for his strong project finance and development capabilities; and Verónica Sattler, who is well-versed in bidding processes, concessions and PPPs. The team’s bench strength is reinforced by Alejandro Manayalle, recognised for his experience in renewable energy projects and airport and port project development; Fernando Molina, a specialist in the financing and acquisition of power and infrastructure projects; and Juan Diego De Vinatea, whose practice mainly focuses on financial matters in the energy sector. Diana Briones (regulatory matters and project development) and senior associate Victor León Chiri (financing and M&A) are also key contacts.
