Guerrero Olivos
‘Fantastic to work with’, Guerrero Olivos‘ dispute resolution practice is routinely engaged for significant domestic and international arbitration cases. The team acts in disputes arising from highly regulated sectors, such as mining, infrastructure and energy; and it further has a strong track-record in real estate, agribusiness, and food and drink-related matters, along with corporate disputes concerning shareholder agreements, and M&A and joint venture-related disputes. The seven-member group is jointly led by Sergio Yávar (who ’knows the law and applicable precedents very well‘), and Benjamín Ferrada, whose broad disputes practices cover complex arbitration work. At associate level, Constanza Urzúa regularly acts in major arbitration cases and the team was further strengthened with the hire of arbitration-focused Agustín Bulnes from Yrarrázaval, Ruiz-Tagle, Ovalle, Salas & Vial in July 2023.
