Further to the departure of name partner Felipe Bascuñán in January 2025, Allende Bascuñán & Co is now known as Allende & Cía. With the ‘ability to analyse and present complex arguments clearly and persuasively’, the five-strong dispute resolution team, which is mandated to act in civil and administrative proceedings and appeals, also regularly appears before the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court; while its industry expertise covers the commercial, aviation, mining, financial markets, and agriculture sectors. Practice leader José Alberto Allende is ’the person clients want on their side once a conflict has begun’; while the caseload of recently-promoted practice director and procedural law specialist, Sergio Avilés includes contentious-administrative procedures.
