Following its 2020 tie-up with leading oil-and-gas and energy boutique Alliani & Bruzzon, Bomchil has consolidated its position as one of the most accomplished legal teams in the sector. The firm covers all stages of the oil-and-gas supply chain, including exploration, production, transportation and refining, and handles a mix of dispute resolution, regulatory and transactional work for clients active in the industry. Practice head Pablo Alliani has more than three decades' industry experience and is an influential voice in international oil-and-gas industry bodies. Fernando Brunelli brings additional heavyweight industry experience and is sought out for assistance on oil-and-gas bidding rounds, transactions and contractual matters. Energy disputes and regulation partner Cristian Galansky adds further heft to the senior line-up. The practice also benefits from Bomchil’s full-service offering, and is able to draw on the expertise of banking partner Fermín Caride, and dispute resolution and public-law focused María Inés Corrá when required.
