Amid the backdrop of Chile’s constitutional debate and intense discussions surrounding reforms to important regulated sectors, Carey has announced that Camilo Lledó returned to the firm as a new partner in the Public Law area.

Camilo, who officially joined the firm on January 1st, focuses his practice on public law, regulated markets, and conflict resolution. He has extensive experience in administrative, constitutional, and antitrust litigation, as well as in consulting related to relations with the State, consistently resolving disputes and contingencies in a wide variety of regulated markets. Camilo Lledó’s expertise in administrative law along with Senior Counsel, Patricio Zapata’s experience in constitutional matters will allow the firm's Public Law group to provide strategic and specialized advice to its clients.

Carey has extensive experience in highly complex constitutional and administrative law issues and has represented clients before public organizations such as the Comptroller General of the Republic, the Constitutional Court, and before ordinary courts of justice in sanctioning procedures. The firm also represents clients before international organizations governed by the ICSID and provides legislative advice to public and private organizations.

Camilo is a renowned administrative lawyer and has been recognized by numerous rankings as leading the new generation of specialists in this matter. He received his law degree from the Universidad de Chile, where he graduated with maximum distinction. He has a master's degree in Regulation, with a concentration in Government and Law, from the London School of Economics and Political Science (2016), and another master's degree in Public Policy from University College London (2017), as well as a diploma in Economic Administrative Law from the Universidad Católica de Chile (2011). He is a university professor, and frequently collaborates with various public organizations and international institutions on the planning and development of public policies.

Camilo spent his formative years as an associate lawyer at Carey, and as he returns to the firm, now as a partner, he emphasized his intention to, “strengthen the advice given to clients in the face of the constant regulatory changes that are occurring in Chile. Every day, new spaces are created for collaboration between public and private entities, which presents new challenges for our legal system. Carey has the capabilities to address those challenges comprehensively.”

Camilo will be joined by associate Rodrigo Domínguez, who received his law degree from the Universidad de Chile and has developed his career in public law.

Jaime Carey emphasized that, "Chile has been in intense constitutional debate for three years and despite the result of the plebiscite, we believe that these matters and sectoral regulation will continue to be a relevant challenge and cause of interest for local companies and foreign investors present in the country."

Carey is the largest law firm in Chile with more than 270 professionals in the legal area.
