At Varela Abogados, a Chilean law firm with offices in Santiago and Puerto Montt, dispute resolution is one of our core areas of expertise. We specialize in complex litigation and arbitration in civil matters (contractual and tort liability, construction, conflicts between partners and shareholders, medical malpractice, among others), as well as commercial, criminal and constitutional matters.

​

Our dispute resolution practice also extends to insolvency matters such as liquidation and reorganization of companies.

​

We have represented both individuals and national and multinational companies in the most varied controversies, litigating before ordinary courts of justice, arbitrators and other judicial or administrative authorities.

​

For each case we design a strategy together with the client that fits their real interests and needs, actively listening and asking the necessary questions before moving forward.

​

For highly complex cases, we adapt to different work teams. We are prepared to interact with internal or external legal advisors of our national and international clients, and with leading law firms in Chile and worldwide.
