About Us
At ULRD, we work alongside our clients as an active part of their projects. We are directly involved in their structuring, execution and, when necessary, the resolution of disputes, always with a comprehensive understanding of the business.
We advise companies developing infrastructure, construction and real estate projects, where legal decisions directly affect timelines, financing and operational continuity. Our work goes beyond issuing legal opinions: we participate in key decision-making processes, anticipating risks and helping structure complex scenarios.
The firm is led directly by its partners. Every matter involves personal engagement and active participation during the project’s critical stages. This structure allows us to combine close client engagement and agility with deep technical expertise.
Our team is composed of lawyers with experience in technically demanding projects and postgraduate training in Chile and abroad. We work with rigor, strategic judgment and a clear understanding of the regulatory and economic environment in which our clients operate.
