We’ve been working closely with Harris Gómez from the Harris Gómez Group for about 2 years or so now. Harris was instrumental in ensuring that our purchase of a substantial Chilean resource asset went with out too many hitches. A complex deal; made even more difficult due to the marked differences in the Chilean and Australian legal jurisdictions not to mention the huge cultural divide. Harris’s unique blend of Australian and Chilean knowledge saved us time, energy and in the long run, money. Since taking possession of the project, Harris’s Team has smoothed the way for our integration into the Chilean business world and for this we are grateful. 2006 “National Entrepreneur of the Year” 2009 ANZ “Private Company of the Year” 2007 BRW “#1 Fastest Growing of the Year” 2008 Anthill’s “Coolest Company of theYear”.

Case overview

HGG aadvised a family-owned, multi-disciplinary manufacturing company specializing in exhaust, thermal, air intake, and emission control products for heavy-duty diesel equipment. In Chile, the subsidiary grew from a small enterprise into a medium-sized company, reflecting the success of its operations and the strength of its local team.

Firm´s role

HGG provided ongoing legal support throughout the subsidiary’s growth, including employment contracts, internal labor law protocols with training programs, and service agreements to support commercial operations. Our team helped adapt global standards to the Chilean context, ensuring compliance and operational protection.

Benefits

With HGG’s guidance, the subsidiary established a strong legal and operational foundation, enabling steady growth, workforce protection, and robust contractual frameworks. The company strengthened its reputation as an innovative and trusted partner in the diesel equipment sector while expanding in a key regional market.

HGG helped us identify a suitable acquisition target to enter the South American market, We gave them a brief of the type of business we were seeking and they delivered exactly what we asked for on time. They introduced us to a shortlist of companies and assisted in the negotiation with the preferred companies.

Whenever we encountered an issue, HGG did everything possible to find a solution. They worked tirelessly and proactively to satisfy our objectives. The outcome was a successful acquisition and the start of what we’re confident will be a long-term growth strategy.

I’d recommend HGG to businesses looking to enter and/or grow in South America. HGG has a deep understanding of what’s important to Australian companies and how we operate. They will help navigate the likely challenges.
