Carey, Chile's largest law firm with more than 200 legal professionals, will be opening its first overseas representative office in Beijing later this year. "We have established strong relations with large Chinese law firms over the years," says Jaime Carey, managing partner of Carey. "We feel the time is right to establish an office in China to facilitate two-way investment between Chinese and Chilean companies." The firm was actively involved in the first wave of Chinese investments into Chile and is anticipating a second wave of Chinese investors looking at opportunities in the telecom, mining, infrastructure, finance and agro sectors. As the winner of Chambers Latin America: 'Latin American Law Firm of the Year' in 2012, Carey's clients include large multinational firms and Chile's leading cross-industry companies. As a full service firm, Carey is an effective bridge between jurisdictions and is committed to being the first point of contact for Chinese investment into Chile. "The opening of our representative office in Beijing symbolises our commitment to our China practice," Carey says. "We are focused on opportunities in the Chinese market and fully expect Chile and China to further increase their business and trade ties in the years to come." www.carey.cl
