Nicholson y Cano Abogados

Nicholson y Cano Abogados is well-known for its strong ties with leading Argentine geologists and the role it has played in facilitating the exploration, discovery and development of some of the country’s largest and most important mining deposits. The firm’s expertise extends along the length of the full mining project life cycle, all the way through to closure; and it is also sought out for advice on claims and properties, mining rights’ due diligence, mining code compliance and associated environmental and human rights matters. The firm provides a full suite of services, including financing, M&A, labour, litigation, tax, foreign trade, antitrust and immigration, and is particularly recognised for its insight into the mining regulation at provincial level. The practice is co-led by long-serving natural resources practitioner Eduardo Koch, who complements his mining expertise with work in the oil-and-gas, infrastructure and construction sectors; and Nicolás Perkins, who also operates across various natural resources sub-sectors and has worked on large-scale mining projects for a number of years. The practice can also draw on the extensive experience of environmental law veteran Horacio Payá; and the exceptional Fernando Caruso, who has worked in the industry for decades and has been a pioneer in securing support from provincial authorities for new mining projects.
