Boutique law firm Ugarte & Correa routinely acts for domestic and international clients in high-stakes antitrust matters being conducted in Chile. The team’s areas of expertise encompass litigation, merger-control work, investigations and compliance. In recent highlights, the group represented Brink’s in a major cartel case, in which the largest fines in Chile’s history are (reportedly) being pursued by the FNE. The practice draws on three principal figures: cartel, abuse-of-dominant position, merger control and unfair competition specialist José Joaquín Ugarte; dispute resolution expert Pablo Correa; and domestic and international arbitration practitioner Liat Tapia (at partner level since January 2022). At associate level, the practices of Marcelo Moreno and Marcelo Mayor include antitrust work.
