Guerrero Olivos

The 13-strong team at full-service firm Guerrero Olivos is consistently mandated to advise on a broad range of environment matters. The practice group's expertise encompasses environmental litigation, regulatory compliance, and the environmental aspects of energy, mining, real estate and construction project development. It is also sought out to assist with M&A-related environmental due diligence. The team is particularly active on behalf of energy and mining companies, real estate developers, ports and terminal operators, as well as waste management, logistics, manufacturing, and food and drink businesses. Also of note, the group acts for non-governmental conservation organisations, along with investors and start-up companies that focus on environmental sustainability. The department showcases four partners, namely: Clemente Pérez, an expert in environmental litigation, the environmental aspects of international M&A, regulatory work, and the environmental implications of real estate and energy project developments; Martín Santa María, who specialises in environmental assessments and urban planning; Sebastián Abogabir, an adviser on non-conventional energy project-related environmental assessments; and Benjamín Pérez, who is experienced in mining project-related environmental issues. In the firm’s associate ranks, senior Francisca Pellegrini routinely advises on the environmental aspects of energy projects; and Sebastián Mozó is another key member of the mining, water law and environmental law teams. Since publication, Pellegrini has been raised to the partnership - effective as fo February 2025.
