With ‘vast experience and knowledge of antitrust and antitrust litigation’, Pellegrini & Rencoret Abogados’ representative expertise ranges from cases and investigations involving exclusionary practices, cartels, leniency programmes, mergers and regulatory proceedings, to the design and implementation of compliance programmes for multinational and domestic companies. The boutique law firm’s 12-member team recently obtained several favourable merger clearance results, in addition to handling two significant collusion cases that were being litigated by the FNE. It also acted for Isapre Cruz Blanca in a procedure brought by the FNE to regulate commercial agreements between physicians and health insurers. The competition and antitrust team is co-led by former President of the Chilean Bar Association’s Antitrust Commission, Julio Pellegrini, who is ’a lawyer with great passion for free competition and litigation’ and an expert in exclusionary practices, cartels and regulatory proceedings; Pedro Rencoret, who specialises in antitrust litigation and regulated markets; and Diego Ramos, who has ‘many technical skills’ and extensive experience in litigating before the TDLC and Supreme Court. In the firm’s associate pool, senior María Jesús Cifuentes is an experienced antitrust litigator; former FNE lawyer Catalina Sierpe assists with litigation and merger procedures; and Javiera Durand is also a key competition and antitrust department member.
