Payet, Rey, Cauvi, Pérez Abogados

In October 2023, Payet, Rey, Cauvi, Pérez Abogados significantly bolstered its standing in the Peruvian mining sector with the strategic acquisition of CMS Grau's entire mining practice. This move brought on board a team including Cecilia Gonzáles, a distinguished corporate, mergers and acquisitions, and regulatory lawyer renowned for her specialisation in natural resources and extractive industries; counsel Liliana Patraut, an expert in exploration, exploitation and processing matters; and Raúl Ferreryra, a specialist in corporate, insurance, tax, and real estate law. Under the collaborative leadership of Ferreryra and José Cúneo (who is noted for handling M&A and financing transactions in the mining space), the firm’s mining and natural resources team now provides comprehensive counsel across the entire spectrum of mining operations. This encompasses advising on acquisitions, sales, and financing of mining projects, as well as navigating complex matters related to mining rights and titles, real estate transactions, and project development. Further enriching the firm’s capabilities, counsel Ángel Chávez brings forth expertise in regulatory and environmental matters, advising clients on a number of exploration, construction, and operational matters with support of environmental specialist Vanessa Chávarry.
