Chilean law firm Uribe Legal launches

The new firm comprises five partners Enrique Uribe Casasbellas, Enrique Uribe Errázuriz, Pablo Prieto Meyer, Silvestre Lyon and María de los Ángeles Bittner and a team of 14 professionals.

A boutique law firm "that unites the best of the experience we bring, with a focus on client orientation and trust, and that allows us a freedom and agility that only a boutique with a modern and efficient structure can have, always putting the client at the center of decisions, with a consolidated and committed team with high technical excellence," founding partner Enrique Uribe says, and who has 40 years of experience dedicated exclusively to labor law.

"We could say we became a labor law boutique to focus on clients' challenges, and we have simplified our structure to focus our energy on the complexity of the current moment," the firm says.

“With a size, adaptability and flexibility that go beyond what a labor department can offer, Uribe Legal seeks to build long-term relationships with its current and future clients,” the firm states. “This includes strategic and preventive advice, as well as working hand in hand with in-house counsel on labor law matters such as collective bargaining, compliance, workplace harassment, litigation, corporate labor restructuring, diversity and inclusion, fundamental rights at work, and international and expatriate relocations.”

Enrique Uribe Casasbellas was for more than 40 years an attorney and partner at UHC Abogados and holds a law degree from the Universidad de Chile, specializes in preventive legal advice, collective bargaining and litigation.
