With extensive expertise in public infrastructure and environmental law, the five-strong team at Garrigues Chile supports clients in bidding for public contracts, regulatory compliance, land use permits and dispute resolution, particularly regarding the transport, mining and construction sectors. The practice is known for having 'in-depth knowledge of the contractual side of the business', and specialises in public procurement, administrative procedures, and public-private partnerships. The team is led by Claudio Moraga, a public law expert with over 30 years' experience and who has a particular focus advising on all stages of concession projects, from bidding to operation and litigation. With almost 20 years' experience specialising in public tenders, administrative sanctions, and infrastructure projects, principal associate Sebastián Hassi is praised by clients for his 'constant and high-quality advice'.

Veteran practitioner Riquelme is a leading expert in construction law, particularly as regards large-scale public projects, contracts with the Chilean State and public works concessions; while Silva (who arrives as a a principal associate) has particular expertise in the engineering and construction segments. Senior associate Carla Martini focuses on energy and natural resources, while associate Carmen Reyes advises on telecom regulations and data protection.
