The team’s coverage also encompasses hiring processes, compensation packages, terminations, labour due diligence, and labour law compliance reviews. Its expertise further extends to internal investigations, corporate policies, social security, immigration, employee taxation and outsourcing. The firm has also recently gained new international mining clients that require ongoing immigration law assistance for their executives. The team is led by Constanza Contreras (a permanent columnist for the Revista Laboral Chilena), who has ’has thorough knowledge of labour regulations’. Contreras is supported at senior associate level by Nicole Finkelstein, who assists with due diligence, immigration, and general employment issues; and María José Chible, a 2021 hire from the Labour Bureau.
