What Alamos Alvarez & Aldunate Abogados does

Álamos, Álvarez & Aldunate Abogados (AAYA) is a Santiago-based Chilean law firm operating from a single headquarters at Av. Vitacura 2939, Las Condes — the country's primary commercial and financial district. The firm is structured as a partnership among four named partners (Alfonso Álamos, Felipe Álvarez, Juan Pablo Álvarez, and Mario Aldunate) and delivers advisory services across eight integrated practice areas: Real Estate and Construction; Capital Markets and Investment Funds; Corporate Law; M&A and Project Development; Venture Capital and Entrepreneurship; Labor and Immigration; Agribusiness; and Compliance. Its client base spans national and foreign companies, business groups, investment funds, family offices, family groups, high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, startups (notably in Fintech, Proptech, Insurtech, and EdTech), and real estate developers.

The firm has no proprietary technology platform; its output is professional legal services delivered by approximately 20–26 professionals (including partners, directors, associates, and administrative staff). Differentiators include international training (Duke, UCLA, Melbourne) and prior experience at established Chilean and global firms (Barros & Errázuriz, Dechert LLP New York, Duane Morris Miami, DLA Piper). The firm has been ranked by Legal 500 and Leaders League in 2024 and featured in ADP's "Corporaciones y Negocios" publication.

The revenue model is fee-based professional services revenue structured as hourly rates, fixed fees for discrete transactions, and retainer arrangements for ongoing corporate advisory. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is exclusively direct and partner-led, with no intermediaries or distribution partners; client acquisition relies on professional reputation, industry recognition, and direct professional networks, with the firm's website serving as the primary digital touchpoint. The firm previously operated under the name "Aldunate & Álvarez Abogados," indicating a partnership evolution that added a third named partner to the firm identity.
