We have comprehensive experience advising project developers, sponsors, advisors, national, international and multilateral financiers, off takers, guarantors and EPC contractors, on all legal matters related to project structuring and development, financing, government regulation, construction and other contractual issues sector wide.

We are known to be a leading advisor on tender offers in Chile – having represented international buyers and the government of Chile in major privatizations of Chilean state-owned assets and enterprises. Most notably our advice in relation to the private-public development of Chile’s most emblematic infrastructure projects ever awarded – long-term “concessions” for the construction and operation of urban toll roads, highways, airports, reservoirs, ports, and also in the more traditional forms of government sponsored projects developed in conjunction with foreign and domestic investors in the field of oil and gas.

In purely private sector project financings we have advised in major assignments across all sectors including:

• Power generation and transmission
• All forms of renewable energy
• Oil and gas
• The first liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal
• Petrochemicals
• Mining and metals
• Water and wastewater treatment.
