Mining

For over 20 years we have stood alongside our clients in the development of one of Chile's most important industries. This has allowed us to acquire both knowledge and experience in the mining business, in all its stages, such as establishment of mining concessions; obtaining water-use rights, acquisition of mining concessions, mining property lease agreements and royalties, establishment of easements and rights of way, area control and protection and mining law.

We combine our knowledge of mining law with our experience in Tax, M&A, employment, environment, public procurement, infrastructure and projects.

CMS Chile also advises various companies in the energy, real estate, agricultural and forestry sectors that require legal advice on mining law for the execution of their projects and the adequate protection of their subsoil.
