Francisca Levin specializes in competition law and economic regulation. She is an expert in advising on merger control and antitrust investigations in all areas, including collaboration agreements and abuse of dominance investigations.
She has particularly focused on the interplay between competition law and economic regulation in markets subject to sector-specific regulation such as telecommunications, energy and aviation. She has also been active in litigating merger control cases before Chile’s Competition Court and Supreme Court.
Before joining Cuatrecasas, she was head of mergers at the Chilean antitrust authority, where she worked for almost eight years, and also was a senior associate at a leading Chilean law firm. In 2021, she was appointed in the Women Board of Experts of the Bar Association of Chile, in antitrust.
She teaches postgraduate courses in competition law at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Universidad de los Andes (Chile), and Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez (UAI) (Chile). She also teaches undergraduate courses on Regulatory Theory at the latter university.
She regularly participates as a guest speaker at international antitrust conferences (such as the OECD’s LACCF and RCC, the World Bank, and UNCTAD). She has authored several publications, including Merger Control in Chile: Echoes from the EU, published in the Journal of European Competition Law & Practice, and the book Control de operaciones de concentración en Chile: Desafíos y respuestas de un régimen en sus inicios, published by Centro Competencia at UAI.
