About

As one of the largest companies in Chile, Ripley requires a sizeable legal department to protect its multinational portfolio of services across Chile, Peru, Argentina and Colombia. As the company operates in three separate areas of business – retail, financial services and shopping malls, its lawyers have to demonstrate a working knowledge of various areas of the law as well as be well-attuned in every aspect of the company’s multidimensional business offerings. In addition to possessing these qualities, the team’s lawyers are also credited for their meticulous and disciplined approach to legal work which can be easily seen in its support to Ripley’s 39 stores, three shopping malls and substantial banking interests in Chile. What’s more, the team is said to possess an outstanding expertise in managing contracts and requirements in both the parent company and subsidiaries in such areas as corporate restructuring, powers of attorney, mutual benefits, provision of services, leases, purchase and sale. Its labour relations expertise is equally impressive, with praise the year concentrating on the team’s draft responses, labour demand presentation and participate in labour courts.
