Outstanding Tax Practice in Chile

Cuatrecasas' Santiago office holds a prominent position in the Chilean tax market. The practice is led by Rodrigo Stein, widely recognized as one of the most prominent tax practitioners in Chile, and was significantly strengthened in April 2026 with the lateral hire of Amory Heine from DLA Piper, where she co-headed the Latin America Tax practice. Amory brings deep expertise in corporate and personal tax planning, cross-border structuring, and tax controversy. The team also includes Sebastián Camus and Valentina Sifón, both with strong backgrounds in international taxation and advisory.

The practice advises leading companies on complex cross-border transactions, structuring, and tax disputes, focusing on highly sophisticated matters rather than routine compliance. As a truly integrated firm, Cuatrecasas' tax professionals work seamlessly across Santiago, Spain, Bogotá, Lima, and Mexico City, enabling efficient multijurisdictional advice on transfer pricing, international investments, and reorganizations.

The team has also excelled before the tax administration, securing binding rulings, successful audits, and favourable judgments. It further stands out for advising individuals and family offices on tax optimization and private wealth, now enhanced by Amory Heine's recognized expertise in wealth management and succession planning.
