With ‘excellent knowledge of water law’, IMAD Abogados’ practice routinely advises on the water, mining and environmental aspects of major development projects. The team’s expertise ranges from the exploration of groundwater and surface water, changes of catchment points and the regularisation of rights, to permits for hydraulic works and the constitution of easements. It also advises on administrative and judicial inspections and sanctioning proceedings, as well as the collection of fees for non-use of water use rights. The team is led by the ’committed’ Domingo Irarrázaval, whose recent experience includes preparing legal analyses on alternative water supplies in areas of water scarcity.
