Martínez de Hoz & Rueda (MHR) is a widely recognized leader in the area of Energy and Natural Resources by both market players and international and domestic specialized legal publications. We have achieved this unique position by proving expertise in all segments of the energy business, including power generation (both non-renewable and renewable energy), electricity distribution and transmission. The broad scope of expertise of our energy team sets us apart from our competitors in Argentina, both at the transactional and advisory levels. This expertise has provided us with a thorough understanding of the business that marks a difference for our clients, and has been key in designing and assisting in complex transactions involving clients from the sector, including project financing of energy-related projects in which MHR represented and continues to represent major sponsors and several multilateral organizations and leading commercial banks.
Our team was the first to develop a strong practice in renewable energies, and continues to advise prominent domestic and international players of the energy sector in the development of their renewable energy projects in Argentina.
MHR’s experience in the energy sector goes far beyond renewable energy. Our team has represented other players of the power sector such as thermal generators, transmission companies and electricity distribution companies, in relation to both their regulatory needs and complex transactional advice.
