Cuatrecasas

Cuatrecasas’ energy and natural resources offering stands out for its ‘unique combination of legal and technical knowledge’, according to some. Primarily focused on the power area, the group is well versed in advising on both conventional and renewable power matters, with an emphasis on regulatory issues, project development and corporate transactions. Key names include project finance, energy and infrastructure partner, Ana María Sánchez, whose ’vast knowledge is invaluable’; she recently advised Patria Investments on structuring and developing a 300MW photovoltaic energy generation park. Senior associate Manuel Gómez fronts the energy and regulated industries practice and advised Canadian Solar on the electric energy battery storage project in Barranquilla. The team further benefits from the senior experience of banking and finance specialist Manuel Quinche, who is noted for project finance; and next-generation partner Nicólas Arboleda, who arrived from his own boutique in January 2025 and brings experience in the mining, oil-and-gas, and environmental law areas. In January 2025, senior associate Fabio Ardila left for an in-house position at Drummond Energy.
