Corporate and M&A is one of the core practice areas at Silva Ibáñez Abogados. 

We provide our clients with general legal corporate advisory services, including contract drafting and negotiation, company formation and restructuring, for both domestic companies and foreign companies seeking to set up operations in Chile. Our team is completely committed to our clients and to providing to them timely top-notch services.

The firm’s Corporate/M&A practice advises clients on the different aspects involved in the merger of companies, the acquisition and disposition of shares and assets, negotiation of joint ventures and restructurings, with an emphasis on complex cross-border deals. 

To that end, the firm has a tight-knit team of attorneys, including a NY-licensed attorney, with vast experience with domestic and cross-border transactions, capable of planning and executing a M&A transaction while meeting the specific requirements and challenges of the deal. 

A perfect complement to the firm’s transactional practice is the day-to-day representation of its corporate clients, many of which are foreign companies with operations in Chile.
