Barros & Errázuriz

The 44-strong capital markets team at Barros & Errázuriz is consistently mandated by major companies to advise on issuances of securities and public offerings of bonds, shares and other securities. The practice is also well known for its assistance to domestic and international management companies, investment banks, Chilean investment funds managers and stockbrokers; and being a full-service practice, the team routinely leverages the expertise of the firm’s M&A, corporate, tax and real estate departments for significant capital markets transactions. The group is co-led by Luis Alberto Letelier, who has longstanding experience in advising companies and funds on issues of shares and debt (both in Chile and on the international markets); Cristián Barros, who is a regular adviser on high-stakes capital markets deals; Víctor Barros, whose recent experience includes the issuance and placement of private and public investment funds and bonds; and Javier Díaz is the practice’s regulatory expert. At senior associate level, Juan Ignacio Galdámez advises fund management companies and securities intermediaries regarding capital markets' matters; Francisco Vial is experienced in securities market regulation; and Pedro Pablo Cruz advises fund managers, securities intermediaries, banks and companies on the issuance of bonds and other instruments. Former senior associate Fernando Campino moved in house at Empresas Ariztía in March 2024.
