Background

About Daniel Weinstein

With a 20-year career as a mining and project development lawyer, I bring to the table a profound understanding of the industry's legal landscape, both from an in-house perspective and as an external advisor. My tenure at mining companies, including BHP, where I led legal teams globally and devised strategies for exploration and construction projects worth billions, has equipped me with an insider's view of the mining sector's complexities. My experience extends beyond traditional legal roles, having negotiated strategic partnerships and joint ventures with industry giants like Barrick Gold and overseen innovation-related contracts with cutting-edge technology providers. As a counsellor to governmental entities and trade associations, I've played a key role in shaping policies and contributing insights that reflect the industry's evolving needs. My approach to law is not just about understanding statutes but about comprehending the business, the technology, and the global dynamics that drive the mining industry. Whether it's advising on M&A, regulatory affairs, project development or crafting commercial agreements, my focus is on delivering solutions that are not only legally sound but strategically aligned with the industry's challenges and opportunities.
