Rubio Leguía Normand's mining department stands as a trusted advisor to numerous local and international mining companies operating in Peru. The firm excels in providing comprehensive guidance across all facets of mining operations, from the development and acquisition of mining assets to addressing permitting and compliance challenges. Mining law expert Xennia Forno leads the practice, regularly advising clients on strategic planning, permit procurement, and various aspects related to the exploration, exploitation-beneficiation, and closure of mines. Complementing the leadership, younger partner Miguel Angel Soto's practice encompasses environmental regulation, energy and hydrocarbons, as well as the mining sector, where he is highly regarded for his proficiency handling the broad array of project matters, including corporate operations, agreement negotiation, permit management, and regulatory compliance.
