‘One of Chile’s top law firms’, Carey’s ‘commitment to excellence, client service and strategic thinking sets it apart as a leader in the market’. The large, full-service arbitration group routinely handles significant disputes, its expertise ranging from contractual issues and insurance claims, to investment arbitration. The team also covers arbitration proceedings arising from shareholders’ agreements, corporate governance issues, and M&A-related breaches of representations and warranties. The practice fields several experienced partners, namely: Juan Carlos Riesco, a national and international arbitration specialist, and recently-promoted member of the permanent panel of the Arbitration Centre of the Santiago Chamber of Commerce (CAM Santiago); Ricardo Reveco, who alongside arbitration mandates, assists with civil and commercial litigation, bankruptcy and insolvency work; and ’standout lawyer’ Aldo Molinari, an expert in commercial and investment arbitration, primarily in relation to the construction, insurance, aquaculture and energy sectors. Other key practitioners in the group are Mónica Pérez, who is ‘sharp, knowledgeable, and highly respected in her field’, and a member of both CAM Santiago’s panel of young arbitrators and the Chilean Chapter of the Spanish Arbitration Club (CEA); and Roberto Villaseca, who focuses on civil and commercial litigation, and alternative dispute resolution, as well as international trade disputes and bankruptcy and insolvency issues.
