Mitrani Caballero Ojam & Ruiz Moreno is a full-service law firm whose reputation derives largely from its corporate finance, labor and social security, regulatory, and intellectual property practices.

Alusa Engenharia regarding the preparation of a bid for the construc- tion of power plants and electricity transport lines. Another Mitrani lawyer, Horacio Ruiz Moreno, has represented SO
Energy in a $34 million claim against ENARSA for power and energy deliveries to the Argentine Grid. Ruiz Moreno and Cristian Mitrani have led an action against the Argentine federal government, represent- ing Techint Construction Division in a dispute over a large infrastruc- ture project. Ruiz Moreno and Julio Martinez represented EON in negotiations to raise gas distribution tariffs. This entailed the creation of a trust structure.
