Mining

We are the leading mining practice in Peru. We provide specialized legal counsel to mining companies of all sizes, from some of the largest global operators to junior companies, investment funds, mineral traders, and, more broadly, to the diverse stakeholders across the mining industry.

During the liberalization of Peru’s economy in the 1990s, our firm took a central role in advising on the privatization of state-owned mining companies. Over the years, we have evolved alongside the industry—consistently adapting to its changes and participating, year after year, in the country’s most significant mining projects.

Our deep-rooted relationship with the mining sector has afforded us a comprehensive understanding of its various stages—from the filing of mining claims to mine closure; of the full range of related activities—from early-stage reconnaissance and exploration to extraction and mineral commercialization; and of its diverse needs and challenges—from day-to-day regulatory compliance to the resolution of disputes before administrative, judicial, and arbitral bodies.  

We are actively involved in the assessment, acquisition, financing, development, operation, and closure of mining projects; in the design and implementation of strategies to secure the permits required to carry out mining activities in Peru; in the negotiation of legal stability agreements that protect investors from changes in regulatory frameworks; and in fostering appropriate relations with the various actors that make up the mining ecosystem.
