Prieto Abogados

Standing out for its ‘approachability and hands-on approach,’ Prieto Abogados' projects and infrastructure practice is increasingly well known for handling some of the most sophisticated and pioneering transactions in the market, positioning itself as a go-to adviser in project development, financing, implementation, and acquisitions across key sectors including energy, mining, ports, data centres, desalination plants, sanitation and infrastructure. Recent high-profile matters include Chile’s first BOOT contract for a battery energy storage system (BESS) project, an award-winning desalination project, and the country’s most complex transmission line development to date. The team is a market leader in renewable energy projects, advising prominent clients such as Engie, EDP Renewables, Pacific Hydro, and Conexión Energía on the development of large-scale clean energy portfolios. Domestically, it continues to advise flagship clients including DP World Chile in the ports sector, Aguas Andinas in the sanitation segment, and AngloAmerican and Collahuasi in mining. The practice is co-led by Juan Tagle, who frequently leads on large-scale infrastructure and energy projects; and Nicolás Yuraszeck K, whose expertise lies in project finance and regulatory advisory work. Senior associate Isabel Monge is increasingly central to the project finance practice, advising both lenders and borrowers in major energy, infrastructure, and mining transactions, while senior associate Emilio Del Real  continues to develop expertise in construction and operation projects, tender processes and regulatory advice.
