Crimes Against Women in Chile
Representing victims of gender-based violence with urgency — and, separately, providing a technically rigorous defense for the accused.
What this involves
Crimes against women — domestic and intimate-partner violence, attempted femicide, sexual assault and abuse, and habitual mistreatment — require lawyers who understand the dynamics of gender-based violence and can act with real urgency at every stage of a criminal proceeding, from the first protective order to a final sentence.
We act as private criminal complainants (querellantes particulares) on behalf of victims, pushing the investigation forward, requesting urgent protective measures, and pursuing both conviction and compensation. We also provide rigorous technical defense to people formally accused who need impartial representation, as a separate and distinct engagement.
What we handle
Domestic & intimate-partner violence
Representation in cases of physical, psychological or economic abuse within a family or intimate relationship.
Attempted femicide
Urgent querella and representation in attempted femicide cases, including immediate requests for protective measures.
Sexual assault & abuse
Criminal action for sexual harassment, abuse and assault, with dedicated support through every stage of the process.
Habitual mistreatment
Representation in cases built on a pattern of repeated conduct, even where individual incidents might appear minor on their own.
Civil compensation
Pursuing moral, psychological and material damages within the criminal process itself, rather than a separate lawsuit.
