The deregulation process during the 90s had a significant impact in Argentina’s energy sector, mainly through the privatisation of the state-owned oil & gas, electricity and water supply and treatment companies and the substantial flow of foreign investment in such sectors.
Since then, BFM&L has been active in assisting foreign and local companies in their specific needs, including the negotiation of investment, acquisition and joint venture transactions, as well as all kind of regulatory work needed to conduct their daily activities.
Our practice encompasses federal and provincial regulations applicable to the production, generation, transportation, distribution and commercialization of electricity, oil, natural gas and refined petrochemical products.
The Firm's practice in the field of energy regulations is an integral part of its overall services to players in the energy sector. Regulatory experts work closely with lawyers from other areas such as administrative law, general corporate, capital markets and tax, to assist clients in complex transactions.
Regulatory advice includes compliance with regulatory requirements in the structuring and consummation of the transactions, performing regulatory due diligence and obtaining regulatory approvals. We also assist the client in the day-to-day matters that arise post-closing and work closely with the management in the development of the particular project.
