Prieto Abogados's 25-strong energy and natural resources practice ‘stands out for its extensive knowledge of the energy industry’, with recent mandates including regulatory work, major energy M&A deals and energy sector projects. Examples include the acquisition of a large energy generation portfolio and the development of battery energy storage system projects. Acting for electricity generators, transmission companies, construction firms, and investment funds, the team’s experience also covers the sale of unconventional renewable energy projects’ plant portfolios, including the management of bidding processes. Among the team’s several key advisers, Juan Tagle's specialisms encompass the electricity generation, distribution and transmission markets, as well as natural gas transportation, joint ventures, and energy and natural resources project-related bidding processes; Fernando Bravo serves as the longstanding secretary to Engie Energía Chile’s board of directors; Nicolás Yuraszeck K is increasingly involved in the acquisition and development of electricity projects; and Agustín Martorell advises on energy and natural resources-related projects and regulatory issues. The department further includes counsel Andrea Von Chrismar, whose energy sector experience covers regulatory matters, competition law, tender processes and transactions. Notable growth includes the hire of practice director Romina Tobar from Chile’s Environmental Assessment Service in April 2023; and -following the departure of former counsel Federico Rodríguez- the promotion of energy M&A practitioner Andrés Laymuns to counsel in January 2024.
