For the fourth consecutive year, Qué Pasa Magazine and Idealis present Leading Lawyers, the first and only ranking of lawyers in Chile, in which attorneys themselves acknowledge the excellence of their peers. The results stem from the opinion of more than two thousand professionals, who voted for their most influential peers in 10 categories. Loreto Bresky, partner at Alessandri, was the attorney that obtained the most votes in the Trademarks category for the year 2016.
Prestige is key for lawyers, but can be hard to measure. Most existing rankings are not local and consider the opinion of clients and not peers. Many experts in their respective fields have less possibilities of being acknowledged in comparison to those who have a greater exposure. Candidates are chosen by a select group of lawyers, with the subsequent participation of all attorneys qualified to practice law in Chile, through a digital platform. The voting took place during November of year 2016.
Rodrigo Velasco A. obtained the first place in Leading Lawyers 2013.
