Lavin Abogados & Consultores

The 12-strong boutique Lavin Abogados & Consultores is closely focused on projects and associated matters including environmental and water law, maritime concessions, mining and energy (and associated permitting), and corporate business law, including taxation. The team specialises in project development for domestic and international clients across the construction, extractive, forestry and energy sectors (along with maritime infrastructure), advising on contractual matters (including EPC and PPA agreements), permitting processes and the securing of essential licenses such as environmental approvals, mining concessions and water rights. The team has particular in-depth and focused expertise in maritime concessions, critical for shoreline infrastructure projects in Chile; recent major mandates include advising mining company Collahuisi and desalination-plant operator Aguas Pacifico, for example. Highly active in regulatory consulting, the firm also supports legislators on shaping energy and natural resources' regulations. Partners Julio Lavin and Andrés Del Favero bring decades' worth of expertise in environmental, infrastructure and maritime matters.
