Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • Sebastián Aninat and Francisco Irarrázaval are the two pillars of the team with whom we work most closely. Sebastián stands out for his approachable manner, fluid communication, and highly structured work methodology. He has a solid command of EPC, O&M, and other key contracts, and always enriches his advice with practical examples from the sector, making his analyses much more useful and applicable. Francisco complements the team very well with his subject matter expertise and his ability to handle complex issues with clarity. Together, they form a team that inspires confidence and delivers a high-level service, clearly differentiated from other firms by the quality of its analysis and the efficiency of its execution.
  • CEPD's Projects and Infrastructure team is distinguished by its deep specialization in the energy and construction sectors, enabling them to support clients through every stage of a project, from contract structuring to operation. For in-house counsel, their greatest value lies in their proactive approach and rapid response, combined with a highly organized and systematic methodology. One of their most tangible advantages over other firms is their contract review methodology: before making any direct changes to the documents, the team prepares a detailed report with comments and suggestions. This significantly streamlines the decision-making process and makes interaction between their lawyers and the client's internal teams more efficient. The team has grown considerably in recent years, resulting in a constant supply of resources and the ability to anticipate emerging industry issues, particularly in regulatory matters, where they are a recognized leader in the sector.
