Lawyer from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. I lead the Public-Administrative Litigation and Environmental Policy and Public Law teams at VGC Abogados, where my professional practice in administrative law and complex, high-profile environmental litigation stands out.
My experience extends to advising on compliance with environmental regulations, defending clients in punitive actions initiated by local authorities, and addressing disputes related to environmental permits and licenses. I have extensive knowledge of the complexities of environmental law in Chile, especially in relation to the mining, energy, and infrastructure sectors. I have played a key role in helping clients manage legal risks associated with their operations, from strategic environmental advisory to negotiating settlements in contentious regulatory matters. My legal advice includes strategic guidance on environmental issues and regulatory enforcement and public law disputes. I have been recognized as a Leading Lawyer in Environment by the prestigious publication The Legal 500, Leading Individual in Chambers & Partners Latin America in the Public Law and Environment categories and Lawyer of the Year in various editions of the Best Lawyers directory, among others. I am a member of the Chilean Bar Association.
