DAC Beachcroft Chile

Housing a ‘first-class team for complex insurance issues’, DAC Beachcroft Chile routinely acts for major insurers and reinsurers in high-value claims, its expertise extending to the resolution of disputes through arbitration and mediation, as well as litigation. The 10-strong practice is also able to leverage the firm’s offices across the UK, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America: it additionally benefits from DAC Beachcroft LLP being a co-founding member of Legalign Global, an alliance of four insurance market-focused multinational law firms. Regional head of the firm's Latin American practice, Andrés Amunátegui represents both the domestic and international market in property, casualty, liability, cyber and financial institutions-related claims, as well as loss adjustment matters, recovery actions and defence-side work; Guillermo Amunátegui is an adviser on insurance-regulatory issues (as well as contracts, employment, capital markets and corporate law); and the Santiago office’s insurance team head, Macarena Cámbara, specialises in liability, financial lines, surety, cyber issues, high-stakes claims and loss adjustment controls. The practice further includes consultant Edmundo Agramunt, whose experience encompasses several high-profile losses in Chile involving mining, energy, aviation and financial institutions. In the associate pool, the experience of senior Andrés Faraggi includes working as a claim adjuster at Charles Taylor Chile for two years; Javier Moya leads the litigation and arbitration department; and Francisco Aravena represents large insurers and insureds in disputes. In a significant boost, the firm joined forces with litigation boutique Ríos Abogados in December 2024, the union adding insurance market specialist Roberto Ríos to its Chile offering.
