Firm Profile > Schultz Carrasco Benitez Abogados > Santiago, Chile

‘The ability to truthfully interpret problems distinguishes the group from other law firms.‘

‘Its main difference with other law firms is the customisation of services and the ability to find solutions in the short term.‘

‘An excellent work team with competent professionals who are committed to their clients. They clearly provide a more personalised service than other law firms and show good co-ordination between their members.‘

‘This office stands out because in its team two characteristics come together that are often found separately, but not together. These are legal rigour and strategic capacity. They also differ in that they have innovative approaches to addressing problems. It is common for other law firms to be able to identify risks, but their conservative approaches prevent them from identifying innovative solutions.‘

‘Great team – I have worked mainly with Edesio Carrasco but I know that his partner Rodrigo Benítez is also great. I really like that they have the experience of having been on the other side, that is, they worked in the audit entities and therefore they really know how the inspection entities work and so they suggest the best answers. Furthermore this is a newer area of ​​law in our country and therefore larger firms do not necessarily have better people. You require a team with more specific knowledge and the team of Schultz Carrasco and Benitez have it.‘

‘Edesio Carrasco stands out above the rest because he worked in the Environment Ministry and therefore is much better prepared than other lawyers, knowing the state apparatus from the inside, which allows him to prepare the best defence strategy and to anticipate how the authorities will react. That is very valuable both for obtaining permits and for facing sanctioning processes. They are really special – you don’t need a bigger firm or a second opinion.’

‘Edesio Carrasco has extensive expertise of the legal issues surrounding indigenous communities, and has a pragmatic and timely approach.‘

‘Rodrigo Benítez has solid experience in environmental regulations and the evaluation of projects for environmental qualification. He has great analytical capacity and risk identification skills, but also proposes innovative solutions.‘
