Larrain y Asociados Abogados

Home to ‘a well-coordinated team that is ready to work around the clock’, Larrain y Asociados Abogados' longstanding real estate practice covers a range of industries, such as tourism, hotels, housing, forestry and agriculture. The seven-strong team also advises private companies and public agencies on non-urban, industrial and renewable energy developments, as well as nature and conservation projects; and in addition to its enviable infrastructure and construction sector credentials, the group is increasingly mandated to assist with commercial property work throughout Chile, primarily in relation to cinemas, gas stations and malls. Of further note, the practice acts for educational and not-for-profit organisations on the acquisition of land for schools and social benefit and charitable activities. Co-leading the team, José Pedro Baraona is an expert in real estate, transactions and litigation; and the real estate transactions practice of former Undersecretary of the Chilean National Property Ministry, Juan Carlos Bulnes, is particularly focused on the agriculture, tourism and conservation sectors, as well as urban and state-owned property developments. Further partner-level support is provided by Juan de Dios Ferrada, who assists with real estate developments and acquisition transactions (both under asset and share deal structures); while in the associate ranks, seniors José Spoerer and Michelle Inzunza, along with Manuel Larrain and Diego de La Barra, complete the team.
