Bofill Escobar Silva Abogados

Focused exclusively on dispute resolution work, Bofill Escobar Silva Abogados' ‘exceptional lawyers’ routinely act in complex disputes before both local and foreign courts, governmental authorities and international arbitration tribunals. The sizeable team’s caseload frequently covers politically sensitive or high-profile matters that include commercial, reputational and financial issues. Its wide-ranging expertise further covers the development of crime prevention models, complex economic crimes, investigations into corruption allegations, and crimes committed against Chile’s critical infrastructure. Examples include the group’s handling of several mandates that result from the country’s October 2019 social crisis. Other recent highlights for the practice include assisting Australis with filing a criminal complaint for disloyal administration against its former management; and conducting an investigation on behalf of Cintac into the former management of a Peruvian company that it acquired. The department is co-led by renowned commercial litigation, international arbitration and white-collar crime specialist Jorge Bofill, who is ’capable of capturing, deducing and proposing innovative solutions’; and the ‘very thorough’ César Ramos, whose experience includes being a member of the 2018-convened Criminal Procedures Code Reform Commission. At associate level, former Public Defender Andrea Lema acts for both victims and defendants in criminal litigation before Chile’s criminal trial courts and the Santiago Court of Appeals.
