What Aninat Abogados does

Aninat Abogados is a full-service Chilean law firm headquartered in Santiago (Las Condes, Av. El Golf 40), tracing its origins to 2003 when it was founded by Luis Alberto Aninat, María Eugenia Sabbagh, Rodrigo Ugarte, and Martín Mois. The firm operates as a professional services partnership with 7 partners and approximately 25 lawyers, serving Chilean and international corporations, investment funds (venture capital and private equity), and startups across 15 practice areas that include Corporate/M&A, Labor, Dispute Resolution, Venture Capital, Technology/IP/Data Protection, Consumer Law, Environmental, Tax, Fintech, Competition, Compliance, Real Estate, Insolvency, Economic Regulation, and Public Law. The firm was previously known as Aninat Schwencke & Cía. and incorporated Ropert Correa Abogados in 2022 to expand its environmental practice.

The firm generates revenue through professional fees for legal advisory services, with engagements negotiated individually based on matter complexity and scope; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Its go-to-market is partner-led enterprise engagement, supported by content marketing through a news and insights portal, partner-authored columns in Diario Financiero, El Mercurio, La Tercera, and Estado Diario, and participation in industry events. The firm derives competitive advantage from the regulatory expertise of partners with government backgrounds (FNE, SERNAC, ICANN, Amazon Latam) and has earned recognition from Chambers Global, Legal 500, Latin Lawyer 250, Leaders League, Best Lawyers, IFLR 1000, and Who's Who Legal. In 2026 it created its first General Manager position, hiring María Pía Cruz Coddou from Estudio Prieto, signaling a shift toward more formalized management.
