For companies operating in Chile
Corporate Law and Compliance
Enforcement is increasing, and the Economic Crimes Law makes directors and managers personally liable. We put your company's legal structure in order before a formal issue becomes a substantive sanction.
We work with Chilean companies and subsidiaries of foreign parent companies on day-to-day corporate governance and on building compliance programs tailored to the business, not off-the-shelf templates.
The goal isn't just to avoid a fine: it's for the company's legal structure to withstand an audit, an investor's due diligence, or a sale process without surprises.
How we work
Comprehensive corporate governance
From incorporating companies and shareholder agreements to updating powers of attorney and board minutes. We keep your company's legal housekeeping current and ready for any audit.
Economic Crimes Law compliance
Design and implementation of crime-prevention models (Law 20.393 and its expansion under the Economic Crimes Law) sized to the company's real risk, not a generic manual.
Fine and enforcement prevention
Preventive review of labor, tax, and corporate risks before they turn into sanctions from the Labor Directorate or the SII.
Commercial contracts
Drafting and negotiating supply, distribution, and services agreements, NDAs, and complex commercial contracts.
Corporate governance
Design of internal bylaws, board committees, and conflict-of-interest protocols for family businesses and growing companies.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a crime-prevention model and who needs one?+
It's an internal system of controls, policies, and protocols designed to prevent the company from committing crimes such as bribery, money laundering, or terrorism financing, and it also reduces the criminal liability of directors and managers. Since the Economic Crimes Law, the required standard has risen and now reaches a much broader universe of companies — not only large corporations, but small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) as well.
How often does a company's corporate governance need to be updated in Chile?+
At minimum, every time a director, a relevant power of attorney, or the ownership structure changes, and preventively once a year. Companies with foreign partners or going through an investment process should keep minutes and powers of attorney current at all times, because any due diligence checks that housekeeping first.
Does the Economic Crimes Law apply to small and medium-sized companies, or only to large corporations?+
It applies across the board. The difference lies in the risk level and the design of the compliance program: an SME doesn't require the same structure as a mining company with international operations, but it does require a model proportional to its real risk.
