Commercial litigation

GBA has extensive experience in commercial litigation either between companies or between companies and governments. This experience comes from nearly two decades of working closely with the largest law firms in Chile and the region, in the context of long-term partnerships.

In order to safeguard the credibility of our clients and our independence, we put special emphasis on building solid cases, based on factual, in-depth and defensible analysis. We avoid collaborating in artificial or forced cases, always taking care to protect the good name of both our clients and our own.

We seek innovative approaches that are able to sustain cases from multiple angles, with alternative supporting lines of argument as well as with creative and effective analysis. Special care is taken to support each of our lines of argument and analysis in order to protect the credibility of our clients. We collaborate closely with the legal teams at different stages of the cases, taking decisive action to the fullest extent possible, within the bounds of our own assessment, in anything that might assist the cases we represent.
