Mining is one of the main engines of the Peruvian economy. At Hernández & Cía. we provide legal and regulatory advice to national and international companies in all phases of the industry: from exploration, construction, and development of operations, to the extractive, metallurgical processing, commercialization, and closure stages.
We actively participate in the design, due diligence, and negotiation of contracts to acquire mining interests. We do so through traditional transfer, option, assignment, or risk-sharing contracts or by proposing specific schemes that adapt to the interests of the client and the particularities of each operation.
Likewise, we prepare, present, monitor, titling, and register mining rights. And, we design and supervise strategies for formulating and obtaining permits, authorizations, registrations, and licenses required at each stage of mining activity.
