ARAQUEREYNA bets on Energy and Natural Resources

ARAQUEREYNA announces the incorporation of Roberto J. Strauss, specialist in Oil & Gas Law and Policy, to lead the Energy and Natural Resources practice.

Manuel Reyna, founding partner of the Firm, asserts: “The country’s demands make clear the opportunity for professional growth in all the areas related to the generation, distribution and commercialization of renewable and non-renewable energies, and the addition to our team of an expert in the field such as Mr. Roberto J. Strauss is coherent with the expansive strategy we have traced for the Firm”.

Joining ARAQUEREYNA´s team allows Mr. Strauss to meet one of his main professional goals: Return to Venezuela to build and support the industrial development. Mr. Strauss affirms: “With the strengthening of the oil & gas and natural resources practice, the Firm is betting, same as me, on the growth of the country and its industries, as well as on the development of new businesses and opportunities in the region”.

With the incorporation of Roberto J. Strauss, ARAQUEREYNA continues its expansive strategy, adding outstanding lawyers to its teams of experts to further develop the areas of practices within the Firm, in as much as the strengthening of the country’s economic activities.
