Echeverría Ilharreborde Scagliotti

Echeverría Ilharreborde Scagliotti has developed a robust water law practice, closely linked to its environmental law work, advising clients primarily drawn from the mining, energy, aquaculture and industrial sectors. The team represents companies in administrative and sanctioning procedures before the DGA, and often advises clients on compliance with recent amendments to Chile’s Water Code, particularly in procedures for modifying water collection points and addressing non-use patent issues. José Pedro Scagliotti leads the practice, representing major clients in both strategic and contentious water rights matters. Fellow name partner Jose Domingo Ilharreborde provides legal support on water law issues connected to large-scale industrial and infrastructure projects. Recently promoted to the partnership, Felipe Infante contributes to water rights due diligence reviews and advises on regulatory compliance and DGA procedures, while associate Santiago Samaniego further supports the firm’s litigation capacity in water-related matters.
