Nicholson y Cano Abogados

Nicholson y Cano Abogados complements its established expertise in traditional energy markets with a growing energy-transition and renewables practice. The firm has been an active player in the development  of joint venture and financing structures to support investors and operators in Argentina’s burgeoning shale-gas industry and advises clients on upstream, midstream and downstream oil-and-gas projects. On the green energy side, the firm handles green hydrogen, carbon capture, and critical earths matters, and works closely with the firm’s environmental law team in these segments. The practice is co-led by influential oil-and-gas partner Nicolás Perkins, who has amassed vast industry experience from various senior in-house roles; and Mariana Guzian, who is sought out for her expertise in renewable energy projects and structuring oil-and-gas joint venture arrangements.  Experienced partner Marcelo Lamesa is another key name and has advised energy clients on a wide-range of exploration, production, transportation and marketing matters for more than 30 years; with fellow partner Miguel Blaquier focusing on exploration and production-related work. The team can also turn to outstanding environmental law expert Horacio Payá, and human rights law specialist Alfredo Vítolo, when required.
