For the past two decades Clayton Utz has invested heavily in South America as many nations begin to emerge as significant players in the world market.  The globalisation of business has meant that clients increasingly require legal services which are coordinated throughout the world.   We have considerable experience drawing upon the expertise and local knowledge of our partner firms in South America to ensure the seamless provision of quality advice throughout cross-border transactions, the coordination of multi-jurisdictional litigation, energy and resources, and in all other areas of commercial advice. 

Experience includes:

• acted on behalf of a leading Chilean company in relation to a dispute with respect to the defective performance of a purchase of an extraction plant from an Australian company.
• acted on the acquisition of a refrigerated warehousing and distribution business involving assets in Argentina and other international jurisdictions.
• acted for a major nickel mining company in Chile in relation to its Australian operations.
