UB & Company has presence in Latin America through Ubilla & Cia.
Ubilla y Cia, was founded in Chile in 1933 by a renown lawyer and justice Mr. Enrique Ubilla Ahumada.
Few years after the establishment of the firm, the founder initiated his judicial career with great success and wide recognition. In those years the judicial career did not preclude him from continuing with his professional career in those matters that did not involve a conflict of interest. In time, he became a Justice of the Appeal Court of Concepción and, at some point, he also served as Justice of the Appeal Court of Santiago.
After retirement from his judicial career he continued with his private practice and in 1972 his son Mr. Luis Ubilla Grandi joined him initiating as well a lustrous career.
Luis Ubilla Grandi has been an active law professor and writer. He founded the Arbitration Center of Concepción and the Commercial Law Institute of Concepción and has also been appointed as Adjunt Justice of the Appeal Court of Concepción. He has also been attorney to the Bank of Chile since 1976.
In 1994, Mr. Jaime Ubilla Fuenzalida, grandson of Enrique Ubilla Ahumada and nephew of Luis Ubilla Grandi, continued with the legal and academic tradition. After obtaining his J.D. at Chile University, he obtained a M.A. Degree from Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan. He also taught law at different universities and accumulated experience in the largest law firms of Chile and China for over 10 years. In 2009, he undertook the internationalization of Ubilla y Cia. by creating the alliance between UB & Company and Ubilla y Cia.
