Antitrust / Competition

We regularly advise domestic and international corporate clients on all aspects of Chilean antitrust and competition laws and regulations. Our advice covers transactional matters, compliance and procedural issues on a recurring basis. Our clients know they can rely on us to deliver results before the special antitrust courts in connection with the enforcement or defense of their rights and actions.
We know complex matters require innovative thinking, we regularly collaborate with our other practice areas to inform our specialized expertise and experience. We frequently advise on mergers and acquisitions and joint venture agreements, licensing of intellectual property rights, or launching of new financial products and services.
We also participate in the enforcement of laws and regulations related to the protection of free competition in Chile. Our lawyers regularly advise companies on buying and selling, mergers, agreements and joint ventures, and intellectual property matters.
