Lembeye

Founded in 2017, Lembeye‘s four-member mining group handles exploration issues, project development, acquisitions and sales, financing and permitting. The firm also houses experts in project closures, environmental approvals, and construction and operational matters; and additionally assists with options and earn-ins, farm-ins, mine construction work, joint ventures and shareholder agreements, and royalties and streaming contracts. Other notable areas include stakeholder and local community matters, and litigation regarding mining concessions. The department is led by longstanding mining industry specialist, the dual-qualified (Canada/Chile) Rony Zimerman (a former Bofill Mir & Álvarez Jana partner), who acts on a range of transactional and regulatory mining matters. Fellow partner Guillermo de la Jara assists clients with regulatory mining matters, including exploration permits, easements and environmental authorisations; while associate Lukas Hudson maintains a broad mining practice.
