About

Provided by FerradaNehme

FerradaNehme positions itself as the most innovative and pioneering firm in the legal services market regarding competition and regulation, being the first Chilean firm in opening a competition compliance department; the first firm to reach a settlement agreement in a collusion case; the first to obtain a merger approval by the FNE under the new 2017 merger control regime; the first to represent an undertaking for an alleged gun-jumping case; the first to successfully notify a merger regarding new technologies and platform markets; and the first to obtain a successful recognition of the failing firm defense by the competition authority.

The firm’s practice before the Chilean Competition authorities is intense and varied, covering the entire scope of competition law matters: cartels, unilateral practices and mergers. FerradaNehme represents high-profile clients, both domestic and international, in the most relevant cases in the competition law practice, covering a wide array of industry sectors in regulated and non-regulated markets such as, for example, air transport, retail markets, pharmaceuticals, telecoms, mining, banking, energy, fishing, ports, railways, electricity, oil and gas, pensions, shopping centers and casinos.

FerradaNehme’s competition team remains the largest and most specialised in Chile, with five full-time partners, five directors, two of counsels and eight associates entirely dedicated to competition matters.
