Goodrich, Riquelme y Asociados' energy and natural resources offering has a notable history in the oil and gas space, with experience structuring a number of major projects around the country; while in energy transition and decarbonisation, the team has manoeuvred itself into a position to advise on opportunities that are expected to see a steady uptick during the new governmental administration. The department also has a mining law component, a segment in which it has recently been assisting a local government client. Hydrocarbons veteran David Enriquez co-leads the group in conjunction with finance expert Jorge Sandoval; and senior associate Erika Roldán, who provides key support across oil and gas and electricity matters, and has niche strength in energy sector arbitration.
