Carey

The seven-member consumer and advertising law group at legal powerhouse Carey routinely acts in consumer protection litigation, as well as voluntary collective procedures before SERNAC. The firm’s lawyers, whose ‘recommendations always go beyond what is strictly requested’, also advises on advertising and marketing campaigns, recall procedures, and safety and warranty policies. Major clients additionally turn to the group for assistance with revising standard form agreements and abusive clauses, e-commerce issues, and the importing and commercialisation of products into the Chilean market. Recent highlight mandates include defending Decathlon Chile against multiple individual lawsuits concerning alleged breaches of the Consumer Protection Act; and assisting Adidas Chile with inspection procedures by SERNAC, as well as with responses to consumer complaints. Guillermo Carey's recent experience includes a consumer protection-related recall process before SERNAC; while Aldo Molinari co-heads the firm’s litigation group alongside Mónica Pérez, who ’gives accurate opinions that are very close to what really happens at trial’, and whose wide-ranging practice includes consumer protection matters. Among the firm’s associates, Kureusa Hara advises on consumer protection regulations and advertising legislation (including e-commerce regulation, digital marketing, recalls and product liability); and the caseload of the ‘extremely diligent’ Eduardo Reveco includes defending companies against actions to protect collective and individual interests.
