Santiváñez Abogados' public law practice is recognised for its dedicated focus on the energy sector, advising both public sector clients (including government agencies) and prominent electricity companies on a broad array of regulatory matters and disputes pertaining to infrastructure and energy projects. Furthermore, the firm has been boosted by it's July 2024 merger with the former Martinot Abogados, giving it particular additional strength in the bankruptcy sector. The practice is led by a trio of well-known partners: name partner Roberto Santiváñez, who is renowned for his expertise in transactional and regulatory work in the power industry; Paul Sumar, a specialist on energy and public procurement; and Fidel Rocha, who is noted for his depth of knowledge in regulatory issues spanning the energy, infrastructure, mining, and environmental sectors. Experienced support is provided by counsel Jose La Torre and senior associate Abel Venero.
