The six-lawyer mining practice at full-service law firm Barros & Errázuriz routinely assists with obtaining, defending and acquiring mining concessions. The group also advises on mining industry-related transactions, including associated due diligence processes and the negotiation of related corporate documentation. It further assists with non-traditional financings (through royalty and streaming agreements), option agreements, and mining leases. The practice is led by Felipe Allende, who acts for mining companies and mining-focused investment funds - primarily as regards transactions and financings; and experienced senior associate Martin Vial, who is particularly focused on mining concession processes.
