FerradaNehme's broad consumer and advertising practice routinely litigates individual lawsuits, as well as high-stakes class actions. With ‘an amazing ability to find creative solutions', the team also represents clients before SERNAC, in response to communications, mediations and voluntary collective procedures. Clients further look to the group to design and update consumer-related prevention and compliance models. Also of note, the firm fields a robust advertising practice. Team leader Stella Muñoz, who ’stands out for her deep knowledge', is a highly-rated consumer law specialist who has substantial experience in consumer litigation (particularly complex class actions), as well as regulatory issues. Providing further partner-level support is complex litigation expert Nicolás Ubilla. In the associate ranks, the consumer law experience of recently-promoted senior Aníbal Korn includes class action proceedings; while Mario Garfias, whose experience includes representing clients before SERNAC, is a May 2022 recruit from Gana y Galvez Abogados. Former associate Arturo Arriagada left the firm in February 2022.
