Mining & Natural Resources
We advise mining companies, landowners, investors, and industry participants on the acquisition, sale, structuring, review, operation, and reactivation of projects connected to natural resources.
Comprehensive support
Mining activity requires a coordinated view of concessions, surface rights, agreements, permits, regulatory obligations, and relationships with third parties.
Legal support should consider every stage of the project, from exploration and acquisition of rights through development, operations, financing, or transfer of assets.
Operations, compliance, and permits
We support the review of concessions, permits, regulatory obligations, inspections, administrative proceedings, and matters connected to land use, water, energy, and environmental issues.
We also assist in negotiations with authorities, communities, surface landowners, and other relevant stakeholders for project continuity.
Transactions, financing, and disputes
The practice includes investment structuring, transfer of rights, strategic alliances, joint ventures, financing structures, royalties, streaming arrangements, and attention to disputes connected to mining projects.
We also address risk prevention, compliance, corporate governance, suspension, closure, restructuring, or reactivation of operations.
Our services include
- Acquisition, sale, and structuring of mining projects, assets, and rights.
- Legal, regulatory, and corporate due diligence for mining projects.
- Exploration, exploitation, operation, services, and surface occupation agreements.
- Concessions, transfer of rights, permits, and regulatory compliance.
- Environmental, water, energy, land-use, and surface-owner matters.

- Specialized corporate advice for mining groups and vehicles.
- Risk prevention, compliance, and corporate governance in mining operations.
- Disputes, litigation, and negotiations with authorities, communities, and third parties.

The objective is for each mining project to have an orderly legal foundation, a clear view of risk, and contractual and regulatory tools that allow it to move forward with greater certainty.
