Albagli Zaliasnik

Aligning specialisms in criminal, corporate and regulatory compliance, the seven-member team at Albagli Zaliasnik focuses on crime prevention and strengthening clients’ corporate culture and governance. The department assists companies from a range of national and global industries with their processes for identifying contingencies and designing risk matrixes; and the compliance department is increasingly involved with the energy, salmon, automotive, forestry and service provider sectors. The group’s expertise includes creating and implementing crime prevention models under Law No. 20,393, as well as Chile’s new Law No. 21,595 on Economic Crime. The team also advises on the compliance side to the country’s recently-enacted Personal Data Protection Law ( Law No. 21.096), which introduces stricter regulations on the processing of personal data and strengthens individuals’ privacy; furthermore, in addition to advising on crime prevention models, the practice covers consumer law, antitrust and labour law compliance programmes, as well as internal investigations. The team is co-led by firm managing partner and corporate group director Rodrigo Albagli, whose workload also covers compliance matters; and former LRN Latin America head, Yoab Bitrán, a September 2024 recruit (as compliance practice director), who focuses on designing, implementing and evaluating compliance programmes. According to one client, Bitrán is ‘by far the leading voice on the subject in Chile and one of the most listened to in the region’. Completing the group, senior associate Caterina Ravera's track record includes high-stakes investigations into economic crimes.
