Pozo Gowland Abogados’s oil-and-gas practice has a strong natural gas focus, dovetailing with the expertise of its well-established electricity team. The midstream and downstream segments are the main areas of activity, with the practice working regularly with distributors and grid operators. Other areas covered include public services, infrastructure, construction, and environmental compliance, as well as regulatory issues and supporting clients in administrative and judicial proceedings. Administrative and regulatory law expert Héctor Pozo Gowland co-leads the practice alongside dispute resolution-focused Ramón Zubiaurre. Santiago Durigón (administrative law and public services), and Francisco Pozo Gowland (hydrocarbons, energy industry regulation and international arbitration), are the main contacts at associate level.
