Bofill Mir Abogados’ antitrust and economic regulation practice is led by director Manfred Zink, whose career includes holding senior roles at Chile’s National Economic Prosecutor’s Office (FNE); during 2025, the team was boosted through the arrival of senior associate Francisca Ossa (an adviser on merger controls, Competition Court litigation, and cartel and abuse of dominance investigations) from legacy firm Barros Silva Varela & Vigil.
