Guerrero Olivos
‘Great for its commitment to clients’, Guerrero Olivos’ 16-member department routinely advises on the financing and development of significant energy and infrastructure projects, as well as the acquisition and sales of projects. On the energy side, the team is highly experienced in solar, wind, power plant, green hydrogen and LNG regasification terminal projects. The firm’s expertise further extends to projects involving desalination and water supply facilities, transport infrastructure (roads and -more recently- cable cars), and social infrastructure such as hospitals. The practice’s key advisers are energy and infrastructure project expert Clemente Pérez; Sebastián Abogabir, who acts for energy companies and international lenders on the financing, development and permitting of non-conventional renewable energy (NCRE) projects; Miguel Coddou, who assists with lender-side project financings; and recently-raised partner Felipe Frühling, whose energy sector credentials encompass solar power and green hydrogen projects. Promoted to partner in January 2023, Benjamín Novoa is a project finance expert, while senior associate Francisca Pellegrini specialises in the development of energy projects.
