Ladies and Gentlemen:

American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) evidencing American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) in respect of common shares (the “Shares”) of Corpbanca (the “Company”)

1 We have acted as your special United States counsel in connection with the execution by you and the Company of the Deposit Agreement to be entered into (the “Deposit Agreement”) relating to the ADRs and the ADSs. The ADSs and the ADRs that evidence the ADSs are being registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) on a registration statement on Form F-6 (the “Registration Statement”).

2 This opinion is limited to the federal law of the United States and the laws of the State of New York, and we express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other State of the United States or any other jurisdiction.

3 For the purpose of this opinion, we have examined the Deposit Agreement, such certificates and other documents, and such questions of law, as we have considered necessary or appropriate. We have assumed that the Company has the power to execute and deliver the Deposit Agreement and perform its obligations thereunder, that the Deposit Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, that the ADSs and the ADRs conform to the forms examined by us and that the signatures on all documents examined by us are genuine, assumptions that we have not independently verified.
