Claro & Cia. houses ‘one of the best energy and natural resources teams in Chile’. Focused on energy, environmental law, renewables, energy transition, and mining, the full-service firm’s large project development practice handles long-term energy contract negotiations, backup agreements, power and gas plants, mining project finance and regulatory matters.

The practice is led by energy law specialist Rodrigo Ochagavía, whose track record includes structuring off-take agreements, energy-related financings and decarbonisation processes. The team further showcases José Luis Ambrosy, a regular adviser on major brownfield and greenfield projects, renewable energy-related corporate matters and gas terminals; Ariel Mihovilovic who (with an ’impeccable work ethic’) predominantly focuses on off-take agreements, greenfield development and financing, project refinancing, hydro power plants, and the acquisition and sale of renewable energy sector assets; cross-border corporate and project finance specialist Luisa Núñez; and José María Eyzaguirre F, an expert in M&A, business organisations, finance and corporate matters.
