Alta QIL+4 Abogados' energy team attracts strong praise for its ‘experience in the field', with a comprehensive practice that encompasses transactional, regulatory and contentious matters. The firm is widely recognised for its strength in energy-related disputes, frequently representing leading multinationals in constitutional litigation related to mining and hydroelectric projects, as well as in local and international arbitration in the sector. Recently, the team has also played an active role in advising major developers on the structuring and financing of large-scale renewable energy and transport infrastructure projects, and in assisting large renewable energy generators with public bids and contracts. Practice head Alejandro Cofiño has wide-ranging expertise in the energy sector and also leads the environmental practice. Senior associate Ignacio Grazioso (an expert in PPAs, project finance and regulatory matters) and associate Héctor Morales, a specialist in environmental law, provide capable support. On the disputes front, Alejandro Solares Morales and associate Estuardo Marchena are the key names.
