All time is need it/ This is my fees structure, clear and directly explained. / A Realistic target is....we work to gain it/ Our best efforts.

Describe one of your most interesting or memorable cases in the past year.

In front Chilean Constitutional Court we obtain a declaration of anti constitutional effects caused by a new act, becausse his norms can´t gives a proportional judgement in every and particular fact under the judges decission.

The precedent motivates a scalade of similar motions, included another areas of practice, unthinking in origin (i. e. Guns Control Act, Anti Trust etc).

What is most challenging about your area(s) of expertise?

To apply news skills and theoretical knowledges over new legal problems, to resolve them with pragmatism.

Currently I am trying to make an armonic structure between the International Criminal Law and international tools of investigation and cooperation of blocks of rights with de Civil Law (or Romanic System) under Chilean Constitution.

Were there any particular inspirations (people or events) that spurred your interest in your practice area(s)?

To find, to use and to support the democratic tools to fight against the abusive power (economical, political or factual).

Make a real and technical defense of the people rights.

Today, corporative defense is the challenge, when the legal persons are treated like a human person in bussines, then, they have rights to Due Process too.

What other interests do you have?

The red winery : discover a petit and rich vineyard of Pinot Noir in the far and cool South LATAM !
