Acting for a range of domestic and international developers and investment companies, Barros & Errázuriz’s 13-strong real estate practice has a strong market reputation for its ability to create innovative acquisition structures. It also advises on real estate associations and consortiums, and the financing of real estate development projects. The group additionally stands out for its experience in infrastructure and construction (including telecoms infrastructure); and is routinely sought out for its regulatory credentials, in relation to city planning, administrative law conflicts, tourism, and urbanism within industrial areas. Co-leading the team, José Ignacio Ovalle’s practice encompasses the development of building projects, condominiums, shopping centres, offices, ports and hotels (both in rural and urban areas); Patricio Solórzano is a residential, commercial and industrial real estate project expert; and Oscar Ruiz-Tagle advises on territorial planning, and urban and environmental regulations. At counsel level, Alejandra Aránguiz is experienced in urban, regulatory and municipal administrative law, while senior associate María Teresa Diez focuses on real estate, corporate and urban planning matters.
