Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría

Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría's six-strong dispute resolution team routinely represents mining companies in commercial disputes and permit challenges. The full-service practice also acts for energy related companies in disputes over the generation, transmission and distribution of energy. Additional key areas are construction and real estate litigation, as well as civil and commercial disputes. Promoted to partner in January 2025, department head Manuela Cross is experienced in civil, commercial and environmental disputes, as well as litigation involving energy, mining, natural resources and construction. In the senior associate ranks, Joaquín Rojas-May acts for mining, construction and banking industry-related litigation; while Eduardo Villagra focuses on criminal litigation. In a boost to the practice, the firm absorbed Zañartu Abogados in early 2025, with Simon Zañartu joining as director of the insolvency and litigation team.
