The growth and momentum Chile has experienced in the telecommunications industry has transformed it into a regional benchmark for the sector and, after many years representing large corporations in important transactions and court cases, Albagli Zaliasnik has become one of the best-known firms in this sphere of legal endeavor.

Our strength and experience is most noticeable in the mobile telephony, radio and cable television industries, where we have managed and administrated concession obtainment processes, bids, permits and licenses to operate various types of telecommunications services, within the regulatory framework created under the General Telecommunications Law.

Usually, purchases and acquisitions in this industry entail market concentration issues, in addition to affecting areas that are as sensitive as they are strategic. All this implies that our M&A and Telecommunications Practice Groups must work in harmony during consultation processes such as litigations usually brought before the Antitrust Court (TDLC) and the National Economic Prosecutor (FNE).

We have also played a very active role in the inception of several draft bills related to this sector, proposing modifications or amendments to them, particularly in mobile telephony, trunking and radio broadcasting.

Our attorneys’ outstanding skills in handling applicable standards and regulations have been crucial in our success, as has also been their encompassing knowledge of the industry. This, coupled with the excellent rapport we have built over time with the authorities, has given us a distinct edge in the delivery of premier quality services and superior results.
