About

The multinational Canada-headquartered consultancy Colliers International has over 30 years of experience in the Chilean market which has enabled it to position itself as a key advisor in four distinct areas of business – real estate management services, brokerage, corporate finance and consulting. General counsel Pablo Guzman’s legal team is positioned in close proximity to each one of these businesses, and receives wide praise from nominators for its ability to deal with complex legal matters ‘effectively, even in an adverse environment’. Financial services and real estate are two areas of particular credit for the team this year, with nominators highlighting both the team’s indepth technical understanding of each area and the excellent intuition necessary to resolve issues in a quick and efficient manner. In regards to finance, the team supports Colliers International’s role as a facilitator of business for investors and companies, whereas on the real estate front, the team assists the company’s real estate brokerage business in the areas of residential, offices, warehousing centres, industrial parks, fields, retail and land. Pablo Guzman, who ‘manages all the Colliers legal projects and has participated in several relevant processes in this last year’, is a highly experienced GC with many years’ experience in the sector. Another lawyer who has caught the eye of peers is Veronica Fuentes Lopez, a young and up-and-coming counsel who has already made a meaningful contribution since joining the company in May 2016.
