The ‘team of top-level lawyers’ at Prieto Abogados is routinely mandated to advise on cross-border M&A deals, private equity transactions and joint ventures. The 29-strong corporate and M&A practice’s recent experience includes deals involving insurance, construction, mortgage loans and subsidised housing leasing. It is also notably active in retail, energy, natural resources, and food and wine sector-related M&A, as well as being increasingly involved in advising private investment funds on the acquisition of controlling stakes in family-owned businesses. The multidisciplinary team can further draw upon the firm’s tax, labour, antitrust, environmental and litigation credentials in relation to transactional mandates. The group is co-led by Juan Tagle, an adviser on M&A, joint ventures and bidding processes; and energy sector specialist Fernando Bravo, who is a longstanding secretary for ENGIE Energía Chile’s board of directors. The practice also showcases Isabel Wolleter, who advises on corporate law, M&A and capital markets; José Andrés Pascual, an expert in energy and natural resources-related M&A and joint ventures; and Nicolás Yuraszeck K, who is experienced in corporate law, M&A and infrastructure and construction projects. Practice directors Andrés Laymuns and Maite Larrañaga, along with senior associate Aníbal Larrain and associate Tomás Ochagavía round out the team. Former counsel Federico Rodríguez left the firm in December 2023.
