Albagli Zaliasnik

A key part of Albagli Zaliasnik's wider litigation and dispute resolution practices, the firm’s white-collar team represents both defendants and plaintiffs in headline economic and business crime matters involving significant reputational and financial risks. The group’s cases frequently involve accusations of fraud, bribery and economic crime, as well as civil, tax, financial, cybercrime and environmental offences; and the six-strong department is additionally experienced in regulatory investigations, and compliance programmes that prevent criminal liability. Also of note, the group is mandated for investigations before Chile’s Investigations Police, the Public Prosecutor's Office, the Courts of Justice, the Courts of Appeals, and the Supreme Court. Recent highlights include defending Inmobiliaria Simonetti board members against a criminal complaint, which was filed against the company by minority shareholders. The principal figures in the ‘well-coordinated, agile team’ are the widely-respected firm founder Gabriel Zaliasnik, who is a specialist in economic crimes and extradition proceedings; and criminal group director Loreto Hoyos, who focuses on high-stakes criminal litigation (particularly economic crimes), her assistance covering both procedural and defence strategies. In the senior associate ranks, David Segall also acts in litigation involving economic crimes.
