Chilean law firm Bofill Mir has announced the promotion of lawyers Paula Donoso and Francisco Miranda, from the Corporate Law and Mining and Natural Resources practices, respectively, to Senior Associates. Both assumed their new positions in May, and both Paula and Francisco are about to leave for Lima and Buenos Aires, respectively, for international internships at leading law firms in their jurisdictions.
Paula started her career at Bofill Mir Abogados (BM) in 2019, while Francisco joined the firm in 2021. Both are lawyers from the University of Chile and graduated in 2018 and 2019, respectively.
Francisco cuenta con un diplomado en Recursos Naturales y Medioambiente de la Universidad de los Andes y otro en Análisis y Planificación Tributaria de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, y Paula está cursando un diplomado en Tributación, Financiamiento y Contabilidad en la Empresa en la misma casa de estudios.
"It is no coincidence that the names of our new Senior Associates coincide with the fact that they themselves will be undertaking an internship in Peru and Argentina. They are two young lawyers who are very committed to their professional development and, consequently, to that of the firm," commented Rodrigo Saffirio, Managing Partner.
Among his most recent advisory services, Paula participated in the sale to Grupo Bitali of 100% of Rosen's subsidiary in Argentina and to Banco Consorcio in the granting of financing to the Guacolda thermoelectric power plant, in the framework of the restructuring of a loan for a total amount of US$333 million. Francisco was involved in the joint venture between Mitsui and Kal Tire for the recycling of tires in mining; and in the acquisition of 51% of Caserones by Lundin Mining from JX Nippon Mining & Metals Corporation, for approximately US$950 million.
