ARBITRATION, MEDIATION AND DISPUTE BOARDS<\/strong><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

We have distinguished lawyers who, due to their long professional experience and teaching activities, are constantly called upon to act as arbitrators, mediators and Dispute Boards.<\/p>\n

This is particularly important in view of the fact that arbitration, mediation and early dispute resolution, as alternative dispute resolution methods, have become very common in the national and international arena. Significant disputes at the level of large and medium-sized companies, as well as between private individuals, have chosen these methods to resolve their difficulties.<\/p>\n

Our arbitrators have extensive international and domestic experience and actively participate in prestigious arbitration institutions such as the ICC, ICDR and CAM Santiago. They also act as arbitrators in the public works concession system in Chile, and form part of the Dispute Boards of national and international centers.<\/p>\n<\/div>

REAL ESTATE LAW<\/strong><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

We have extensive professional experience in the real estate field. At FIHS Abogados we assist both construction and real estate companies, and we also advise investors, natural or legal persons, real estate brokers and other real estate service providers. Our advice is particularly important in the planning and legal execution of real estate projects for housing estates, social housing, tourist, commercial, office and industrial businesses, starting from the acquisition of the land, as well as during the entire process of marketing or exploitation of the land. We also actively participate in the study of draft laws affecting the real estate sector, and in advising companies on urban planning law, especially in the interpretation and application of the General Law on Urban Planning and Construction and its General Ordinance, regulatory plans and urban planning regulations, and in particular through our participation in the Chilean Chamber of Construction, where one of our members is the president of the Chamber’s Legislation Commission.<\/p>\n<\/div>

CRIMINAL COMPLIANCE AND PREVENTIVE CRIMINAL CONSULTANCY<\/strong><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

We specialize in Criminal Compliance, providing preventive criminal advice to companies, foundations and corporations, as well as their owners, directors and senior executives.<\/p>\n

We develop, update and review Crime Prevention Models (CPM) for companies, making them fit the particularities of each organization, achieving a balance between crime prevention and the normal development of the company’s business.<\/p>\n

In addition, through the MPD we develop, we manage to pre-constitute evidence that may be useful in a possible criminal trial. In this, our experience as trial lawyers in these matters gives us a great comparative advantage.<\/p>\n

We also advise companies that are obliged to report to the Financial Analysis Unit, so that they comply with the legal requirements (designation of a Compliance Officer, Suspicious Transaction Reports, Cash Transaction Reports, etc.) and thus successfully face an audit process, avoiding heavy penalties.<\/p>\n

With all of the above, we improve the corporate governance of the companies we advise and give them solid support to face criminal contingencies and complex scenarios.<\/p>\n

All of the above is complemented by the academic activities that we carry out in prestigious universities and organizations in the country, which also results in the preparation of legal reports and legal opinions when required.<\/p>\n<\/div>
