Marinovic & Alcalde Abogados' ‘very organised' team regularly works alongside the boutique firm’s real estate, tax, disputes and mining colleagues on corporate matters, and acts for a portfolio of clients comprising private individuals, family offices, and international and domestic companies. The corporate practice is co-led by Martín Vilajuana de la Cuadra, whose experience includes deals involving corporate structuring advice; Javier González Echávarri , whose wide-ranging practice encompasses corporate law, M&A, finance and dispute resolution; and Alberto Polette Zaldívar, who advises on corporate, venture capital and mining law. In a boost to the team, former senior associate Tomás Polette Zaldívar, a specialist in business organisations and corporate finance, was raised to partner in January 2023.

Testimonials

‘What clients like the most is that the teams are more personalised than the competition. Large firms have larger teams with less experienced attorneys, but in M&A, this firm's partners attend clients directly - and it shows.’
‘Every time clients involve them, they end up in a better scenario than at the start, which speaks of their ability to make things happen. Personalisation and efficiency - and the relationship is fluid, with responses prioritised according to clients' urgency.’
‘Regarding the strengths of the team, clients mainly highlight their great knowledge of corporate law and the fact that recommendations do not come only from the legal point of view, but also with commercial perspectives. That makes them a very good partner for clients.'
