Garrigues Chile

Frequently at the forefront of public sector matters arising at the intersection of regulation, public procurement, infrastructure and construction, the team at Garrigues Chile is recognised for its advice to transportation, motorway and prison industry clients. Its regulatory compliance expertise is particularly notable; the team stands out for its ability to support clients throughout the construction and operational phases of concession projects and in related disputes. Highly regarded practitioners Rodrigo Riquelme and Claudio Moraga chair the team; Riquelme is highlighted for his specialisation in complex disputes relating to public works concessions, infrastructure projects and challenges to administrative acts, while of counsel Moraga covers the full range of public procurement, administrative procedures and public-private partnerships. The senior bench was substantially strengthened as a result of the firm’s April 2026 absorption of the former Barros, Silva, Varela & Vigil (BSVV), which saw the arrival of former practice heads Claudia Ferreiro and Felipe Riesco, who primarily focus on environmental and regulatory law, as partner and counsel, respectively. Key associate support comes from principal Sebastián Hassi and senior Viviana Diaz, a former legislative adviser to the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications, who joined the firm in May 2025.
