The team at environmental boutique Pontones & Ledesma is specialised in providing environmental regulatory compliance advice to domestic and international clients, including those working in the retail, energy, food and drink, and construction segments. A pillar of the practice involves the obtaining of authorisations from governmental agencies including ASEA, SEMARNAT and CONAGUA, and it has additional capabilities in litigation and audits. The founding partners share leadership: Luigi Pontones specialises in advisory and contentious environmental mandates; while Arturo Ledesma maintains an advisory practice that takes in audits, environmental impact assessments, emissions, pollution and hazardous waste. Senior associate Valeria Bustamante focuses on environmental audits and has particular knowledge of water and wastewater matters. Pablo Martínez Santuario, Fernanda Barrientos Carrasco, and Irvin Mallen are additional associate-level contacts and support the partners across the gamut of matters.
