• The recognition comes in a year when regional mergers and acquisitions activity reached its highest level in three years, with 1,641 transactions recorded in Latin America, an 11% increase over 2024.

Santiago, July 8, 2026 – Carey once again led the Chilean mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market, according to the 2025 edition of Latin Lawyer’s Deal Tracker, in a year when Latin American transactional activity reached its highest volume in the last three years.

According to an analysis published by Latin Lawyer, 1,641 M&A deals were recorded in Latin America in 2025, a figure exceeding the 1,480 reported in 2024 and the 1,535 in 2023. In this environment of heightened activity, Chile also saw an increase in deal-making, with Carey once again leading the local market by handling 34 transactions and remaining the most active law firm in Chile.

"More than recognition of a particular year, this result reflects a track record of trust built over decades with our clients. In increasingly sophisticated and competitive markets, companies require advisors capable of assembling multidisciplinary teams, understanding the strategic challenges of each industry, and executing highly complex transactions with a long-term perspective. That has historically been Carey’s focus, and it will continue to guide our work," stated Jaime Carey, the firm’s Executive Chairman.

Latin Lawyer’s Deal Tracker is a key benchmark for measuring transactional activity in Latin America. It compiles transactions handled by law firms across the region and provides a snapshot of market trends and the key players involved.

In the analysis of the Chilean market, Carey’s role advising Vytal Group on its acquisition of Chilevisión stood out among other significant deals of the year, a transaction reflecting the complexity and strategic nature of many of the operations carried out in 2025.

Carey’s leadership in the Deal Tracker builds upon a sustained track record of involvement in the most significant transactions across Chile and Latin America, advising companies, investors, and financial institutions on highly complex and strategically significant deals.

“The rise in transactional activity in Latin America is a positive sign for the region, reflecting renewed momentum in investment and the development of new business opportunities. Carey’s continued leadership of the Chilean market in this context is the result of a track record built over decades alongside our clients, the efforts of highly specialized teams, and a professional approach grounded in technical excellence, collaboration, and a long-term strategic vision,” concluded Jaime Carey.
