The nine-strong group, which also assists with environmental crime-related prosecutions, showcases Claudia Ferreiro, an expert in project-related environmental impact assessments, defending clients before State agencies, concessions and environmental regulations; and former Undersecretary of the Ministry of the Environment, Felipe Riesco.
