Albagli Zaliasnik's nine-strong civil litigation and arbitration group, which ‘provides a remarkable, available and timely service’, routinely litigates before Chile’s civil and appeals courts, as well as the Supreme Court. Acting for both businesses and individuals, the group’s civil liability and litigation expertise covers corporate and company issues, telecoms, technology, construction, urban planning, real estate, insurance, healthcare, and sports. The practice also handles credit instrument enforcements and lease-related disputes. Among the department’s key practitioners, Ariela Agosin is a complex litigation and arbitration specialist; and founding partner and criminal law expert Gabriel Zaliasnik focuses on economic crimes and extradition proceedings. At director level, Francisco Fuentes ’delivers excellent results’, and the January 2024-promoted Josefa Larraín is experienced in civil and commercial litigation, as well as arbitration. Since publication, Larraín has left the firm - effective as of November 2024.
