Our capital markets practice is unrivalled in execution capabilities and in-depth industry knowledge of the law and practice of financial transactions. We typically represent all the major global banks (e.g., Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, JP Morgan), the local securities firms (Banchile, LarrainVial), the global private equity funds (Apollo, BlackRock) and seasoned issuers (Cencosud, Embotelladora Andina, ENAP, Ingevec). The marketplace knows that we excel in this field because of our commitment to challenging structures and deadlines, our highly specialized securities and banking regulatory practice, a fundamental component of a successful and effective capital markets practice, and our ongoing and effective professional relationship with the regulatory agencies and the stock exchanges.
In terms of our comprehensive experience, we have been involved in the major Chilean capital market transactions executed in recent years whether as issuer’s counsel, underwriter’s counsel or placement agents’ counsel.
