About the practice
Three ways we work. Each one is advisory. What follows depends on your facts, your counterparties, and the market in front of you. We do not publish a promise about the result.
01
For leadership teams weighing a commodity question and the capital that sits beside it.
Ongoing or project-based counsel when a decision is large enough to warrant an outside view, and early enough that the view can still matter. We help name the decision, the constraints, and the information still missing. The corporation keeps the decision.
02
A plain discussion of how a commercial objective might be organized before anyone rushes to paper.
We talk through scope, timing, and the shape of an arrangement with other parties. Where legal, tax, or regulatory advice is required, that work stays with your advisors. A structure that fits one corporation can be a poor fit for another, and we will say so.
03
Guidance on how a corporation prepares to approach a physical market and the people in it.
We help you describe the commercial objective clearly and think through what a counterparty will need to see. Any introduction depends on the parties, their own requirements, and conditions at the time. An introduction is not a recommendation to transact, and it is not an offer.
Approach
We would rather slow a conversation down than dress up an assumption. Notes stay in plain language. Urgency is discussed; it does not run the meeting.
01
We start from what the corporation is trying to accomplish. The first conversation is for listening and for naming constraints.
02
We separate what is known, what is hoped, and what is still open. Where we do not have a view, we say so.
03
We describe ways the matter might be approached, including the choice to wait. The decision stays with the corporation.
These boundaries are part of the practice, not a footnote we hope you skip.
About the practice
Manages capital and commodities
Arnulfo Navarrete manages capital and commodities and has earned the trust of large corporate clients. He stays close to the work: clear correspondence, careful framing, and attention that respects the weight of a corporate decision.
Corporations hear from him directly. The practice is built for that kind of relationship — unhurried, specific to the facts, and quiet about matters that are not ours to advertise.
Write with your company and the matter in front of you. We reply when the practice can be of help.
