About

‘Maximiliano Schmidt Gabler understands the business and always gives precise legal advice. He can anticipate complications and brings to the table innovative solutions to complex legal issues. He and his team always maintain focus and clarity’. This is how one nominator glowingly describes Schmidt, who heads the legal function for the Chilean operations of Mapfre, the global Spanish insurance company. Offering national coverage with more than 50 offices throughout Chile, Mapfre generates commercial alliances with its intermediaries to provide its quality services and Schmidt is integral to this. Despite the high-pressured nature of leading the local legal division of a multinational organisation, he is able to remain personable whilst delivering a best-in-class legal service to Mapfre Chile. As another nominator states, ‘[He] is a very proactive lawyer. He is involved in all legal and tax matters of the company, is very smart and ingenious in the solutions he offers to the issues we have discussed. He is also a very easy going person’.
