More informationMore information

Tavarone, Rovelli, Salim & Miani has successfully broadened out what was primarily an electricity-sector focused natural resources team and has seen a steady uptick in mining-related work during the last 12 months. The hire of specialist mining practitioner Marcos Moreno Hueyo as partner and practice head has been the main driver of this development, helping the the team to win business from developers in metals and minerals ranging from gold and silver to copper and lithium. The practice also advises on all the regulatory aspects associated with the Argentine mining industry, including public law, tax and financial regulations. Transactional work, and environmental and royalties' matters are also covered. In addition to the hire of Moreno Hueyo, the firm has also recruited mining-law focused associate Dolores Reyes.
