We work in a legal/strategic way, thinking permanently how the authorities and tribunals are going to act, predicting their decisions, and strongly focusing in getting results for our clients from a strategic perspective.

The firm understands how the government works, especially considering the previous experience of several of its members in key environmental agencies, such as the Chilean Environmental Assessment Agency (Servicio de Evaluación Ambiental, hereinafter, “SEA”) and the Ministry of the Environment. We also defend our clients in a number of administrative special procedures necessary for the development of a project, before any court or administrative agency, including the Courts of Appeal, the Supreme Court, as well the recently established Environmental Court. Our litigation department has been doubled in the last year, considering the complexity of the cases that we are facing.

Our team also is well capable of understanding our national and international clients, due to our team members’ experience studying and working in the United States.
