Cariola Díez Pérez-Cotapos

The 11-strong capital markets team at full-service firm Cariola Díez Pérez-Cotapos is consistently mandated by issuers, investment banks, placement agents, financial advisers and investors on the public and private debt and equity offering of securities in Chile and the international markets. The group’s specialisms cover IPOs, Rule 144A/Reg S work, private placements and American depositary receipts. The team recently advised Compañía Cervecerías Unidas on the amendment and restructuring of unsecured 20-year Series H notes, in addition to assisting Transbank (as issuer) with the registration of unsecured bonds. The practice’s key advisers are senior partner Francisco J Illanes, who is an expert in finance, banking, capital markets, M&A and telecoms; Rodrigo Sepúlveda , whose wide-ranging practice focuses on advising Chilean and foreign banks and financial institutions, as well as Chilean companies, on banking and finance law, securities, foreign Investment, project finance, and the issuance of debt and capital instruments; and Juan Antonio Parodi, a highly-experienced adviser to major issuers and underwriters on domestic and international debt and equity capital market transactions. In the firm’s sizeable associate pool, seniors Sergio Balharry (who routinely advises on bond issuances) and Teresita Fernández are the key figures for capital markets work.
