Career
As the Founding Partner and Director of AZ’s Litigation Area, Gabriel’s practice focuses on highly complex litigation matters such as antitrust cases, constitutional law, criminal law, economic crimes, intellectual pro- perty infringement and extradition processes. In addition, given his broad expertise in the fields he has profes- sionally undertaken, he has publicly and privately advised on legislative and regulatory discussion processes.
His experience in litigation and antitrust matters has led the prestigious English publication Chambers & Partners to name him—year after year—as one of the best Chilean attorneys in the “Dispute Resolution” and “White Collar Crime” categories. In fact, the publication singles Zaliasnik as, “…the Firm’s main lawyer in li- tigation. He distinguishes himself for his great capacity to resolve highly complex matters and his mastery in clearly and precisely explaining them before the courts. He is also renowned for his strategic planning and development qualities, and for his talent for team-work, especially concerning negotiations with authorities.”
Gabriel Zaliasnik was also chosen by the renowned United States publication Best Lawyers as the best crimi- nal defense lawyer in Chile.
Today, given his experience and the industry’s recognition, he participates in cases of high national importan- ce, demonstrating a strategic vision for conflicts, solid knowledge and a high capacity for resolutions before our country’s most important courts and public institutions. As a result, he reiteratively represents high-level authorities in highly complex and public cases.
