SERVICES
Business and corporate criminal law has become a cross-cutting regulatory field, extending beyond the traditional scope of criminal law to encompass a wide range of business activities and regulated markets. Its expansion into financial, environmental, labor, insolvency, antitrust, anti-corruption, and corporate governance matters demands preventive, strategic, and multidisciplinary analyses capable of integrating regulatory and compliance criteria. In this context, criminal law operates at an additional level of responsibility and risk, the understanding of which is essential for sound business management and informed decision-making.
Our experience in multidisciplinary litigation, coupled with active academic participation and a consistent presence in legislative debates and reform committees, allows us to offer comprehensive advice in this field. This background, along with our role as advisors in high-profile cases, gives us a unique perspective to anticipate risks, interpret trends, and support our clients in the criminal analysis of projects, operations, and structures, providing sound judgment in an environment where the boundaries between regulatory, corporate, and criminal law are increasingly blurred.
01
We represent individuals and legal entities in all types of criminal proceedings, including highly complex and high-profile cases. We handle cases from the initial investigative steps (including the preliminary stage) through trials and appeals, whether defending the accused or acting as private prosecutors representing victims. Our expertise includes economic and corporate crimes, assisting companies, directors, and managers in identifying and mitigating criminal risks and in strategically responding to litigation contingencies.
Our approach combines rigorous case analysis with creative legal strategy, aiming to safeguard our clients' rights and achieve the best possible outcome at every stage of the proceedings.

03
We advise and represent our clients in highly complex and economically significant civil and commercial disputes. We cover everything from the pre-litigation stage—risk analysis, negotiation, and mediation—to the conduct of trials before ordinary and arbitral courts at all levels, in matters such as contractual disputes, corporate conflicts, civil liability, and controversies between partners or business counterparties.
We also have extensive experience in national and international arbitration. Our team is familiar with the main arbitration courts and rules (CAM, ICC, ICSID, among others) and operates in multiple languages, offering effective representation in commercial and investment arbitrations, with a focus on obtaining the best possible protection for our clients' interests.
04
We assist victims of fraud, embezzlement, corruption, and other illicit activities in tracing and recovering assets. We work both in cases where our clients already have a favorable judgment issued abroad—advising on its recognition and enforcement in Chile and other jurisdictions—and in active criminal or civil proceedings abroad, coordinating strategies to effectively secure the assets involved.
In cases that often involve opaque corporate structures and operations in multiple jurisdictions, we combine criminal, civil, and international legal tools to locate assets, obtain freezing orders, and repatriate misappropriated funds or property. We design tailored strategies for each case and represent clients before courts and authorities in different countries, aiming to maximize the chances of successful asset recovery.
05
We provide legal counsel in litigation related to infrastructure and natural resource projects, including energy, mining, and large-scale construction. We represent companies in contractual disputes arising from breaches, cost overruns, delays, or early terminations, as well as in controversies stemming from the execution and operation of projects.
We also address disputes related to sector regulations and the environmental impacts inherent in these developments. Our knowledge of the local legal framework and industry standards allows us to offer litigation strategies that combine legal certainty with proper project risk management.
06
We advise companies on their dealings with the government and on compliance with public regulations applicable to their activities. We represent our clients in administrative sanctioning proceedings and in contentious-administrative litigation, challenging or defending against actions by the government that may significantly affect their operations or assets.
Our work seeks to provide regulatory clarity and a timely response to decisions by authorities, articulating defense strategies and institutional dialogue when appropriate.
07
We handle disputes involving multiple jurisdictions or requiring coordinated action in different countries. We design and execute international litigation and arbitration strategies, working with correspondent firms and foreign experts when necessary to maintain a consistent global defense.
We advise on the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards (exequatur), as well as on obtaining international precautionary measures and other transnational proceedings, using the mechanisms of private international law to effectively protect the rights of our clients.
08
We conduct internal corporate investigations to clarify suspected irregularities, fraud, corruption, or other misconduct. Together with the client, we design a work plan that may include document review, analysis of digital evidence, interviews, and coordination with independent forensic experts.
We operate with strict confidentiality and respect for labor and data protection regulations. When internal investigations involve authorities or regulators, we guide the company in its interactions with them and in the adoption of corrective measures, mitigating criminal, administrative, and reputational risks.
