Our firm has vast experience specializing in water, mining, and forestry related matters, having been involved in some of the most important projects developed in the country over the last 15 years, participating in them from early stages, proposing and analyzing the best alternatives and strategies to enable and facilitate their execution.

​Our broad experience, in addition to our academic and research expertise in this field, allow us to provide specialized counsel in waters, mining, and forestry issues, for the development and operation of mining, aquaculture, power, agricultural and all types of projects, in all kinds of procedures before the DGA, SEC, DOH, CONAF, SAG and SERNAGEOMIN, as well as in the resolution of administrative and judicial disputes in connection with these matters. 

In the field of water law, we are regularly retained for the preparation of specialized legal opinions and reports.

Additionally, we provide legal advisory services in connection with the exploration and exploitation of groundwater and surface waters, extraction point transfers, and changes of catchment points, materialization and regularization of rights, along with the procurement of permits for hydraulic works and the negotiation and creation of easements. Moreover, we also assume the administrative and judicial defense of our clients in inspection and sanctioning proceedings, as well as in procedures relating to the collection of duties arising from the failure to use water enjoyment rights.

In mining law, our services include the constitution and defense of exploration and exploitation concessions, along with the negotiation and establishment – both voluntary or mandatory – of mining easements. Furthermore, we also provide advice for the approval of sector-specific permits (exploitation methods, site closure plans, among others) and during the negotiation and execution of specialized agreements (options, exploration agreements and joint-ventures, earn in/out, EPC, BOT, etc.).
