Acting for both plaintiffs and defendants, az’s criminal law group comprises specialists in headline economic and business crimes, which frequently involve allegations of fraud and bribery, as well as civil, tax, financial, cybercrime and environmental offences. The seven-strong team also handles large-scale investigations before Chile’s criminal representation agencies. Recent highlights include assisting Chilean real estate asset management company, Grupo Patio, with filing criminal complaints against two former partners for unfair administration money laundering, the mandate relating to the Factop Case, a major Chilean financial scandal. Following the departure of former name partner and practice co-head Gabriel Zaliasnik (who left the firm in June 2026 upon his appointment as an ambassador by the new administration), the department is led by next generation partner Loreto Hoyos, whose caseload features economic crimes. At senior associate level, David Segall and Daniela Castillo are both experienced in economic criminal litigation.
