Albagli Zaliasnik’s 12-strong corporate and M&A team has a ‘vast amount of knowledge of M&A activity across Latin America’. The practice covers corporate M&A, including structuring, planning and executing local, regional, and global acquisitions; and it has significant retail, telecoms, energy, life sciences, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, infrastructure, real estate, and food and beverage sector expertise. The group is co-led by founding partner Rodrigo Albagli, an adviser on M&A, corporate compliance, start-ups, venture capital and private equity; and corporate and business law expert Álvaro Rosenblut, who is ‘experienced in finding creative and relevant solutions’. The department further includes experienced legal and business director Stephanie Cruz.
Chile > Compliance
With ‘an excellent approach to the requirements of client organisations’, Albagli Zaliasnik‘s eight-strong group focuses on crime prevention work, as well as the strengthening of clients’ corporate culture and governance (including in relation to ethics). The practice routinely assists major companies with identifying contingencies and designing risk matrixes; and implements crime prevention models under both Law No 20,393 and the new Law No 21,595 on Economic Crimes in Chile, which came into effect in August 2023. In addition to advising on crime prevention models, the firm’s lawyers, who ‘show a constant commitment to the matters entrusted to them’, assist with consumer law, data protection and antitrust compliance programmes, along with labour law-related compliance and internal investigations. Clients also benefit from the firm’s digital platform ComplianceLatam, which comprises compliance officers, legal managers and auditors, and facilitates collaboration between major regional law firms. Recent mandates for the group include assisting both major food retailer SMU and American utility and power generation company AES Corporation with updating their compliance models. Following the May 2024 departure of practice director Francisca Franzani, the firm hired Yoab Bitran -formerly Latin America-head at LRN- to replace her in Septmeber 2024; he co-heads the practice with name partner Rodrigo Albagli, whose broad expertise includes corporate compliance work.
