Martínez de Hoz & Rueda handles matters across the energy generation (hydro, thermal and renewable), distribution and transmission supply chain, with renewable energy, -particularly in the nascent hydrogen space- an active area. The team is well-versed in power sector regulation and is known for advising credit agencies and banks on the design of complex financing structures for conventional and renewable energy projects.

Public law expert Juan Cruz Azzarri has extensive public utilities and power industry experience and co-leads the practice with current firm managing partner Jimena Vega Olmos, who focuses on public law, infrastructure, power, project financing and international arbitration, and has a strong thermal and renewable energy practice. The team can also draw on the vast experience of firm founders and oil-and-gas veterans José Martínez De Hoz and Pablo Rueda. Since publication, Marcos Blanco, whose practice areas include power, renewable energy, oil-and-gas and TMT, has been promoted to partner, effective in January 2024.
