Practice

Our attorneys at the Oil and Gas department have vast experience in advising businesses, national and provincial government authorities, and non-governmental organizations on the legal system governing the exploration and exploitation of unconventional hydrocarbons.

We address, from a comprehensive approach, the treatment of the special regime governing exploration permits and exploitation concessions applicable to these resources and the contingencies arising from those aspects that are still pending regulation: taxation regime, minimum environmental prerequisites, sample tender documents, sound technical practices.

Our firm provides consulting services regarding the federal, provincial and municipal set of rules governing sensitive environmental and social issues concerning hydrocarbon exploitation from unconventional fields.
