Carey

What Carey does

Carey is Chile's largest law firm, founded in 1973, providing legal advisory services to clients in the Chilean and broader Latin American market. The firm operates with a horizontal segmentation approach targeting legal industry clients and is positioned as the leading legal brand in the country, a status reinforced by partner Jaime Carey's shared IBA presidency for 2026 alongside Claudio Visco.

The firm's recent strategic posture extends beyond traditional legal services into the venture and legal technology ecosystem. In 2025, Carey acted as legal counsel to Base10 Capital Partners on their $2.5 million Series A investment in Diio, a Chilean AI startup focused on commercial performance optimization. In January 2026, the firm made a direct strategic investment in Magnar, a Chilean AI platform specializing in legal industry solutions, after first validating Magnar's product as a client. Magnar will continue to operate independently under founder control, focusing on locally trained regulatory and case-law AI tools while expanding across Latin America.

Carey's business model is built on professional services revenue from legal advisory mandates, with no software, SaaS, or technology product portfolio disclosed. The firm employs 51-100 people and has no disclosed pricing model or public revenue figures. Its value proposition to clients combines the established credibility of being Chile's largest law firm with selective early engagement in AI-driven legal technology, positioning the firm as both advisor to and stakeholder in the regional legaltech buildout.
