Our labor law and workplace compliance practice provides comprehensive legal advice to companies across all dimensions of the employment relationship: from the day-to-day management of the employer-employee relationship to the defense of complex litigation before Chilean labor courts and appellate courts.

​

We understand that labor management is not limited to compliance with current regulations. Every decision a company makes in relation to its employees — a termination, a restructuring, a change in working conditions — carries legal, operational, and reputational implications that must be assessed in advance. For this reason, we work alongside our clients as ongoing advisors, participating in decision-making before issues escalate into contingencies.

​

We have experience in strategic advisory to companies across a range of economic sectors, including mining, construction, retail, real estate, and services, which enables us to understand the operational particularities of each industry and tailor our recommendations to the actual context of the business.

​

In the area of workplace compliance, we assist companies in building prevention models, conducting internal investigations arising from complaints, and implementing corporate policies that effectively fulfill legal obligations regarding harassment, workplace violence, and the protection of fundamental rights. Our approach combines technical rigor with a practical perspective aimed at ensuring that the measures adopted are operationally viable and not merely formally correct.

​

In litigation, we represent employers in high-complexity labor disputes, including proceedings for unjustified dismissal, protection of fundamental rights, declaration of employment relationship, nullity of dismissal, collection of employment benefits, and unfair labor practices, among others. We design defense strategies in direct coordination with our clients, prioritizing an understanding of each case from its legal, economic, and reputational dimensions.
