Along with being a founding partner of az in 1991, Gabriel Zaliasnik leads the litigation area that has marked our DNA ever since. He is a professor of Criminal Law at the University of Chile and in recent years has served as coordinator of the Criminal Procedure Code Reform Commission of the Chilean Ministry of Justice.
Today he is considered one of the leading criminal lawyers in the country, however, he is recognized for his skills in all types of highly complex litigation. He focuses his practice on highly complex matters in the area of criminal law, especially economic crime. His skills as a litigator have allowed him to integrate other disciplines such as constitutional law, antitrust law, regulatory law, in the resolution of conflicts. For the same reason, he is recognized in the field for numerous judgments that have marked the Chilean jurisprudence, being a reference in the area and providing permanent advice to the National Congress in the processing of bills.
Given his vast experience in litigation, the prestigious British publication Chambers & Partners has distinguished him, year after year, as one of the best lawyers in Chile in the categories “Dispute Resolution” and “White Collar Crime”.
