Todd Crider, Head of the Firm’s Latin America Practice, was featured in a Q&A interview in El Mercurio, which highlighted Todd’s work advising Chilean companies for nearly 30 years and the Firm’s deep experience in the country. The article followed a recent meeting in New York with Chile’s Minister of Finance, Mario Marcel. Due to the ambitious legislative reforms and new Constitution proposed by Chile’s new government, there is increased attention from the investor community as to the likely effects on Chile’s business environment. In his remarks, Todd explained that Chile’s growth trajectory over the past few decades has given it an enviable reputation for stability and enabled it to attract capital that has catapulted it to the highest standards of living in the region. While there appears to be a clear mandate for “social and political transition,” as indicated by Minister Marcel, Todd noted the importance of managing that transition in a manner that preserves Chile’s virtues as a business friendly country of low corruption and high stability and rule of law.
