Luis Hermosilla

Luis Hermosilla is a Chilean lawyer known for his work with high-profile Chilean politicians and businessmen. From 2000 to late 2023 he had a law firm with Andrés Chadwick.[1] He was the main lawyer pursuing the punishment of the fugitive assassins of senator Jaime Guzmán (assassinated in 1991).[1] He worked as the main lawyer of Guzmán's family since August 1996 when Guzmán's family decided for him to succeed Miguel Álex Schweitzer as the lawyer of the case.[1]

In September 27, 2001 he received a mail bomb during the Chilean mail bombs case.[2] The bomb did not explode.

Since the Caso Audios scandal became known in mid-November 2023 he is being investigated for bribery with regards with his contacts with the Internal Tax Service (Servicio de Impuestos Internos, SII) on behalf of his clients.[3] This case has forced Hermosilla to end his role as Guzmáns' family lawyer as well as having his representation of politician Miguel Crispi terminated.[1][4]
