Hemos participado activamente en importantes proyectos mineros de oro y diamantes, y de petróleo y gas, así como en la reorganización de empresas de esos ramos, y hemos trabajado en la privatización de empresas públicas y estructuración de empresas mixtas. En muchos de estos proyectos, prestamos nuestros servicios de asesoría a las entidades bancarias nacionales y extranjeras que financiaron los mismos.
