To us, as lawyers specialized in corporate / M&A, we have had to refer many clients to them when business does not go well and they end up in litigation. Many of these matters we have entrusted to Y&Cía, who have always responded in a very timely manner (an issue that is rarely seen in the market) and with a very high-quality standard, it is probably one of the best conflict resolution teams in Chile.’

‘I believe that the great ability to work as a team, the deep knowledge they have in procedural and civil matters, their experience in dealing with highly complex cases (even as cross-border components) and their great knowledge of the arbitrators and the national arbitration circuit and international (being two of its very prestigious referee partners), are the greatest qualities that could be highlighted in the team, in addition to the great human quality of each of its members. I believe that unlike some of their competitors, at Y&Cía they take on every case they take with great commitment, whether it is a simple query or a complex case. In other words, when you entrust them with a case or query, you are sure that the partners are always going to be very involved, who assume responsibility for cases down to the smallest details.
