About

Given its status as a major Chilean conglomerate active in the mining and transport sectors, Antofagasta is able to recruit and hire the services of the best in-house lawyers in the country. As such, the firm employs the highly respected and distinguished Patricio Enei as vice president of legal. He has had a formidable in-house career of over 20 years, holding senior positions at other big players in Chile’s mining sector such as Codelco, Minera Escondida and BHP Billiton, before moving to Antofagasta in 2014. Nominators were quick to highlight Enei’s thorough approach to overseeing all legal matters internally as well as his business acumen when providing advice to senior management, of which he is a part of. He is also commended for his heavy contribution towards key company milestones such as the expansion projects concerning the Los Pelambres mine and its financing.
