Molina Ríos Abogados

Molina Ríos Abogados' 18-strong team has ‘extensive experience in projects and infrastructure’. It handles a diverse range of projects, ranging from desalination facilities to wind farms, hospitals, roads and mining infrastructure; its expertise encompasses both public and private contracts, as well as PPP projects. Recent mandates additionally include railway infrastructure projects. In relation to large-scale projects that run for several years, the group’s coverage includes the establishment of international companies in Chile, litigation in the Supreme Court and filing complaints with the Chilean Government. The practice is led by Victor Ríos, who is a specialist in engineering and construction project-related litigation and contractual matters; and Carlos Molina's expertise encompasses public works-related construction issues and concessions for airports, highways, reservoirs, gas pipelines, railways and public buildings. The department further showcases Felipe Correa, who routinely advises on major infrastructure and construction projects. At associate level, senior Catalina Binder’s experience covers bidding, construction and operation phases; and Raimundo Lagos ​​advises on the contractual aspects of engineering and construction projects. In a notable boost to the practice, the firm formed an alliance with UK-based Fenwick Elliott LLP in March 2024, which strengthens both firms’ construction, energy and infrastructure expertise across Latin America.
