Housing ‘several people with a good level of experience’, Barros Silva Varela & Vigil's environment team routinely handles environmental assessments, compliance with environmental regulations, and sanctioning proceedings before the Superintendency of the Environment and the Environmental Protection Agency. The nine-strong group, which also assists with environmental crime-related prosecutions, showcases Claudia Ferreiro, an expert in project-related environmental impact assessments, defending clients before State agencies, concessions and environmental regulations; and former Undersecretary of the Ministry of the Environment, Felipe Riesco. In the firm’s senior associate ranks, José Ignacio Vial is an experienced litigator; and Esteban Carmona advises on environmental regulation, administrative procedures and permit applications.
