Advocate (international lawyer) in Chile

If your personal, family, property, or business interests are connected with the Republic of Chile, the legal situation almost always requires simultaneous consideration of the legislation of several countries. Prikhodko & Partners Law Firm provides qualified international legal support and helps Ukrainian citizens resolve issues related to document legalization, doing business, property, family relations, as well as support in criminal proceedings and extradition procedures.

An attorney (international lawyer) in Chile helps correctly determine jurisdiction and prepare the necessary legal documents in accordance with international standards.

When Do You Need an International Lawyer in Chile?

The need for an international law specialist arises when legal relations contain a so-called “foreign element” (for example, pursuant to Clause 2, Part 1, Article 1 of the Law of Ukraine “On Private International Law”, when a participant resides abroad, property is located in another country, or a legal fact occurred outside Ukraine).

Main areas of legal support:

• Migration matters: relocation to Chile, obtaining and extending residence permits, acquiring resident status.
• Document processing and legalization: preparation, translation, apostille, and notarization of Ukrainian documents for use in Chile (and vice versa).
• Real estate and property: legal due diligence of properties, support for purchase and sale transactions, leasing, and investments.
• Inheritance: formalization of inheritance rights to property located in another jurisdiction.
• Family law: marriage registration involving foreign citizens, divorce, division of joint property, determination of a child’s place of residence, recovery of alimony.
• Corporate law and business: company incorporation, structuring international transactions, resolution of disputes with Chilean counterparties.
• Criminal defense and interaction with law enforcement authorities: representation in cross-border investigation cases.

What to Do If There Is a Risk of Extradition or International Wanted Status?

Criminal proceedings involving law enforcement authorities from different countries require an immediate response. If a person faces the risk of detention, being placed on an international wanted list through Interpol channels (Red Notice), or an extradition request, delays may result in detention and lengthy court proceedings in another country.

Under Ukrainian law, the extradition procedure is clearly regulated:

Grounds for the request: pursuant to Part 1 of Article 573 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, an extradition request may be submitted if, under Ukrainian law, the offense is punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of at least one year, or for the purpose of serving an imposed sentence if the remaining unserved term is at least 4 months.

Requirements for the petition: a petition for extradition of a person must comply with strict procedural requirements and contain substantiated evidence in accordance with Part 2 of Article 575 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine.

Action Plan in Case of Risks

1. Preventive status check: determining whether there are any notices in Interpol databases or bilateral international channels.
2. Challenging an Interpol wanted notice: preparation and submission of preventive requests or complaints to the Commission for the Control of Interpol’s Files (CCF) in order to block or delete unlawful notices.
3. Defense in extradition court proceedings: preparation of a legal position, submission of evidence confirming the absence of grounds for extradition, verification of compliance with human rights and security guarantees.
4. Travel of a Ukrainian international attorney to Chile: urgent involvement of a specialist for direct coordination of actions, representation of interests, and interaction with local justice authorities.

How Much Does Legal Assistance in Chile Cost?

The cost of services depends on the nature of the case, its complexity, the volume of documents, the jurisdictions involved, and the need to involve a local lawyer.

The final price is determined after an initial consultation and analysis of the materials, as an international case may require simultaneous work in Ukraine, Chile, and other countries.

Advantages of Working with Prikhodko & Partners Law Firm

Chile has its own legal system and procedures, so legal matters involving a Ukrainian citizen in this country cannot always be resolved solely under Ukrainian law. Cases become particularly complex when Ukraine, Chile, and another foreign country are simultaneously involved, as well as matters concerning property, business, family relations, or criminal proceedings.
