TMT
‘Very good at providing commercial and practical advice’, Guerrero Olivos’ nine-member practice routinely works alongside the firm’s administrative law, IP and corporate departments on TMT matters. Acting for both major corporations and start-ups, the group assists with both contentious and non-contentious mandates before the sector’s regulatory entities, including compliance with Chile’s legal frameworks. The team is experienced in advising on concessions for the provision of mobile and satellite services, and assists with the corporate and regulatory aspects of M&A deals involving key TMT infrastructure. It also advises on software licensing agreements. Recent highlights for the team include advising Microsoft on TMT regulatory matters, as well as assisting Microsoft Cloud Operations and Innovation in relation to data centres. The practice’s principal figures are regulatory and public law specialist José Gabriel Undurraga, who advises major telecoms companies such as Telefónica Group; Juan Enrique Allard, a specialist in international M&A transactions and corporate reorganisations; and Eduardo Cordero, who leads the public law and regulated markets team. At senior associate level, Diego Morandé is an IP and data privacy expert; Valentina Mora specialises in M&A, venture capital, AI, and corporate structuring; and Alejandra Leiton focuses on telecoms-related regulatory issues, compliance and data privacy.
