Claro & Cia.

‘Without a doubt one of the most prestigious and solid law firms in Chile’, Claro & Cia.‘s 25-strong competition and antitrust team comprises experts in high-stakes multi-jurisdictional merger control work, antitrust investigations, cartels, unilateral behaviour, and damages cases. The full-service practice, which ’combines in-depth legal knowledge with exceptional strategic and commercial vision’, also covers litigation and regulatory compliance, along with commercial law and business structuring. The group is co-led by renowned litigation and arbitration expert Cristóbal Eyzaguirre, whose longstanding career includes working in the New York office of legacy firm Shearman & Sterling; and José Miguel Huerta, who is ‘one of the most outstanding lawyers in his field’, and a specialist in merger and cartel-related investigations. Also key to the practice, Santiago Bravo is a highly-regarded litigation, arbitration and antitrust practitioner; Álvaro Vives‘ workload encompasses cartels, abuses of dominance, vertical restraints, merger control issues, and follow-on damages suits; Tomás Kreft is at partner level since 2024 (and a former foreign associate in the litigation department of US law firm Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP); and Juan Pablo Celis is an experienced counsel, whose track record includes government enforcement proceedings and investigations involving merger control and cartels.
