DAC Beachcroft Chile

Acting for both insurers and reinsurers, the ‘excellent professionals’ at DAC Beachcroft Chile demonstrate particular strength in high-stakes claims that are resolved through litigation, arbitration or mediation. The practice notably benefits from international law firm DAC Beachcroft LLP co-founding membership of Legalign Global, a closely-integrated alliance of four multinational law firms that focus on the insurance market. The 10-strong team in the Santiago office is led by Macarena Cámbara, whose career includes working at Marsh, THB Re and Zurich Chile, and who specialises in liability, financial lines, surety and cyber matters, as well as complex claims and loss adjustment control issues. Other senior figures include regional head of the firm’s Latin American practice, Andrés Amunátegui, a longstanding expert in insurance, reinsurance, and associated litigation and arbitration; Guillermo Amunátegui, who is experienced in insurance-related regulatory issues; and consultant and former MAPFRE Chile legal head, Edmundo Agramunt, an insurance and reinsurance, litigation and corporate law specialist. At senior associate level, the practice further includes Nicolas Le Blanc, an adviser to the London market on claims’ control processes for property, casualty, cyber and financial institution-related risks; litigation and arbitration group leader Javier Moya; and Andrés Faraggi, who acts for both Europe and US-based reinsurers. Experienced semi-senior Francisco Aravena is also noted.
