DLA Piper partners Paulo Larraín and José Pablo Dulanto have left the firm’s Chile office, taking six lawyers with them, to reestablish their former firm—NLD Abogados.

The exits come less than three years after Noguera, Larraín & Dulanto Abogados merged with DLA’s outpost in Chile. Former NLD name partner Diego Noguera remains with DLA Piper.
