Bofill Mir strengthens its Public Law practice and launches a new Criminal Law department with the addition of two partners

Bofill Mir continues its strategic growth with the addition of Tomás Blake and Daniel Martorell as new partners. With these additions, the firm strengthens its capabilities in areas of high legal sensitivity and growing complexity, enhancing its leadership in Public and Regulatory Law and launching a new Criminal Law practice integrated into its key services. With these additions, Bofill Mir now has a total of 12 partners.

The addition of Tomás Blake as a partner in the Public and Regulatory Law area, alongside current partner Andrea Abascal, reinforces a leadership structure designed to sustainably drive a key practice in Chile’s regulatory agenda.

"The interaction between the state, businesses, and communities constitutes a complex but inherent balance in development, which requires a strategic vision that anticipates risks and enables projects.

Our practice seeks to advise and accompany clients in critical decisions, integrating the regulatory perspective into their corporate challenges," said Blake about the synergies of his specialty with the development focuses of Bofill Mir.

On the other hand, with the addition of Daniel Martorell as a partner, the firm is launching the Criminal Law area, which has been integrated into its strategic axes from the outset. Martorell’s career has been linked to complex matters in which he has participated alongside the Mining, Corporate, and Regulatory teams, a collaboration that is now being consolidated, incorporating that expert perspective into our service offering and our clients’ most sensitive challenges.

In this regard, Martorell added that "beyond the technical aspects, Criminal Law becomes a strategic resource for promoting sustainable business. The launch of this practice reflects the growing need for preventive and crisis advice, integrated into the corporate, regulatory, and reputational reality of our clients."

These moves stem from constant monitoring and understanding of our clients’ needs and strengthen key capabilities with an integrated, technical, and business-oriented approach.

Octavio Bofill, partner and member of the Executive Committee, commented: "The addition of Daniel and Tomás responds to a clear conviction: to grow with a focus on the needs that reality imposes on our clients, whom we accompany in their businesses. Both partners share the firm’s strategic vision and will strengthen areas that require specialization, legal expertise, and a keen understanding of the public and corporate environment."

He added that this stage also reaffirms something that has been part of the firm’s history: a track record marked by the ability to build teams, strengthen practices, and project them with a long-term vision.
