Ms Antonia Ballacey > Bofill Mir Abogados > Santiago, Chile > Lawyer Profile

Emerging from Bofill, Mir & Álvarez Jana’s (BMAJ) 2022 dissolution, Bofill Mir Abogados fields a 12-strong corporate transactional team that consistently assists with the planning and execution of complex M&A deals, joint ventures, and strategic partnerships. ‘Effective in the strategies proposed and executed‘, the group is particularly experienced in advising buyers, sellers and targets from the mining, agribusiness, energy, real estate and maritime sectors; and it is also increasingly active in relation to family offices and companies’ corporate restructurings. The department is co-led by renowned founding partner Octavio Bofill, who ‘has extensive business knowledge‘; cross-border deal specialist Ana María Yuri; and Rodrigo Saffirio, a frequent M&A adviser to national and international clients. Other active practitioners include corporate and M&A expert Feliciano Tomarelli (raised to the partnership in March 2023); and senior associate Antonia Ballacey, who focuses on corporate and transactional matters. The practice was further strengthened in June 2023 with the arrival of regulated markets’ specialist Andrea Abascal from Jara Del Favero Abogados.

Emerging from the dissolution of Bofill, Mir & Álvarez Jana in early 2022, Bofill Mir Abogados‘ ‘first-rate‘ banking and finance team advises both borrowers and lenders, including banking and financial institutions, insurance companies and investment funds, on major financings at local and cross-border levels. The department’s expertise covers project finance, corporate and structured finance, and bilateral and syndicated loans, along with the refinancing and restructuring of existing financings, and it is particularly experienced in relation to  the mining, infrastructure, insurance and energy industries. The group is co-led by name partner and longstanding banking and finance specialist Octavio Bofill; ‘excellent professional‘ Rodrigo Saffirio, whose specialisms include project finance, corporate loans and syndicated loan agreements; and banking, finance and capital markets expert Ana María Yuri. In recent boosts to the practice, transactional specialist Feliciano Tomarelli was elevated to the partnership in January 2023; and Victoria Salazar, whose practice covers capital markets, projects and aviation law, was made director in June 2022. The team is completed by senior associates Gonzalo Barceló and Antonia Ballacey, who are both experienced in corporate financing and project finance work.
