Acuña & Compañía Abogados

Acting for major insurers, reinsurers, Lloyd’s syndicates and brokers, independent boutique law firm Acuña & Compañía Abogados - which is particularly focused on high-value losses - fields ‘excellent professionals who offer extraordinary quality of service’. Dedicated to insurance work for over 40 years, the team’s assistance covers both adjustment and settlement stages, as well as subsequent judicial proceedings and arbitrations. It also handles significant subrogation actions. Recent mandates include representing insurers Ace/Chubb, Liberty, SURA and AIG (now Southbridge/Fairfax) in judicial recovery actions against Costanera Norte, Spain’s Sacyr and Chile’s Ministry of Public Works; the matter concerns a loss affecting dozens of offices and residential buildings in Santiago, which were flooded due to the diversion of the Mapocho River during construction work. The practice’s principal figures are senior partner Alejandro Acuña Murray, an insurance, reinsurance, arbitration and litigation specialist whose track record includes representing local insurers in high-stakes recovery actions; and longstanding civil, commercial and criminal litigator Luis Cifuentes Araya. Associate Whitney Silva completes the group.
