NexLegal

NexLegal is a boutique Chilean law firm specialising in corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, venture capital, regulated markets, labour and immigration law, and strategic litigation. Founded by partners with extensive experience in top-tier international and local law firms, NexLegal provides tailored legal advice to high-growth companies, funds, family offices, and entrepreneurs operating in Chile and Latin America.

A key differentiator of NexLegal is its dedication to building long-term relationships with clients, reviving the traditional role of the consigliere – a trusted legal and strategic advisor deeply embedded in the client’s business journey. Associates are not confined to back-office roles; they are actively involved in client engagement and strategic execution, ensuring continuity, responsiveness, and a genuine understanding of each client’s needs and values.

The firm’s commitment to gender equity and diversity is reflected both in its internal culture and in the way it advises clients, fostering inclusive practices and forward-looking governance.

The firm is particularly recognised for its dynamic corporate and venture capital practice, advising start-ups, scale-ups and investors in financing rounds, corporate structuring, exits and regulatory matters. NexLegal has played a key role in several high-profile M&A transactions and venture financings involving both domestic and international stakeholders.

In the field of labour and immigration law, NexLegal provides strategic advice on workforce structuring, compliance with evolving labour regulations (including recent reforms on working time and workplace safety), collective bargaining, and litigation. Its regulated markets team advises clients in sectors such as infrastructure, energy, ESG, telecoms, and mining, with a strong emphasis on public law and sustainability.

What sets NexLegal apart is its agile, multidisciplinary approach, deep understanding of innovation ecosystems, and commitment to building long-term partnerships with clients. The firm combines legal rigour with technological support and cross-border capabilities, enabling it to serve clients efficiently in a globalised and fast-moving market.

NexLegal’s recent work includes international companies on their entry into the Chilean market, supporting founders through strategic partnerships, representing foreign investors in complex corporate restructurings, and assisting multinationals with labour compliance and dispute resolution.
