Our Law Firm believes that client's success determines our own
Foreign investment in Chile
At the law offices of Simon Marin, we have a vast experience advising foreign clientele (that ranges from international companies to foreign entrepreneurs) interested to invest in Chile.
At the Law Offices of Simon Marin, we have the ability to assist our clients in every aspect of their investment in Chile by understanding the needs of each individual investor and, therefore, advising them on the best possible solution.
Property Disputes, Citizenship, Temporal Residency, Permanent Residency, Visa Denials
One of the main practice areas at The Law Offices of Simon Marin is to provide immigration related services to our foreign clientele that desires to immigrate to Chile. Our diverse clientele range from executives and entrepreneurs, to retirees and families that want to settle down in Chile.
The immigration system in Chile can be confusing so we try our best to simplify it for all of our clients and make their immigration process in Chile smoothly.
Marriage, Civil Unions, Domestic Partnerships
At the Law Offices of Simon Marin we represent our foreign clientele in matters of Family and Inheritance Law.
We understand that when a foreigner is partnered with a Chilean citizen many legal issues can arise. This is especially true when it comes to marriage dissolutions and can get further complicated when there are children in between.
Many times when a marriage between a Chilean citizen and a foreigner ends, issues related to custody as well as issues related to taking the kids out of Chile can arise. Without proper and experienced advice this can end unfavorably for the non-Chilean partner and the children since Chilean legislation places many obstacles in the way in order to take a minor out of the country without authorization of both parents.
The dissolution of these relationships is handled at the Law Offices of Simon Marin by our specialized team and services include the assistance and representation in different procedures including divorce, child support, custody and visitation, among others. We also represent foreign family law firms when it comes to cross-border family law matters to validate foreign court rulings in Chile.
Estate Management, Property Management, Mortgages
Without the right advice, real estate transactions can become challenging and time consuming. There are many potential legal concerns and pitfalls in any real transaction in Chile, especially for foreigners, since real estate transactions in Chile are much different than in the common law countries. As such, at the Law offices of Simon Marin, we advise clients throughout the purchase or sale of residential and commercial property. We provide a detailed review of all aspects of real estate transactions in Chile with a specific and detailed oriented advice to our foreign clientele, taking into consideration all aspects of the transactions, including tax advice and efficient manners on how to enter funds into Chile.
At the Law offices of Simon Marin, we thoroughly review all documents and contracts involved in Real Estate Transactions in Chile, to ensure the real estate agreements protect our clients’ needs.
At Marin Law we provide the services of the creation of non-profit organizations (FOUNDATION or CORPORATION).
These are non-profit private legal entities that are regulated by the articles 545 and following of the Civil Code and by the law number 20,500 regarding the Associations and Citizen Participation in Public Management.
