About

With almost 15 years of presence in Chile, Fresenius Kabi has a prominent place in the regional market for its production of dialysis products and services. Given the high regulatory and legislative requirements applied to businesses in the sector, the internal legal team has a prominent place within the structure of the company. Closely integrated with other departments and enjoying excellent communication lines with senior management, the well organised legal unit run by Jorge Gonzales has become an indispensable part of the company. According to nominators while participating in transactions that were very demanding, Gonzalez and his team ‘have always come up with innovative solutions, [he] has a strong reputation as a strategic partner in all legal matters in the company’, a source notes. Besides Gonzales, María José Cifuentes Vera, who works alongside the legal unit, has received praise for developing Fresenius Medical Care’s compliance policy in the Chile. Nataly Ramírez Parra, another well recognised name in the industry, supervises the labour relations area. The team’s most recent addition, María José Cifuentes Vera, who joined the company in February 2018, will provide legal advice on issues across the company.
