    • Attorneys from large and medium size law firms in Chile.

    • Expert Law Professors from Chile and Argentina in the fields covered by the program.

  • During the last decades Chile has been the most prosperous, safe and stable country of Latin America having in Santiago a world class city for living, visiting and business.

  • Use the rest of the summer to gain practical experience. We help our students in securing internships in Chile for the remainder of the summer in law firms, courts, and NGOs.

  • Use the rest of the summer to travel to interesting places. Did you know that one of the best months to travel to Machu Picchu and do the Inca Trail in neighboring Peru is July? Why not spend a week in Brazil or return to Argentina for the last week of June? Chile also offers incredible places to visit with warm weather in winter such as Easter Island, the Atacama desert, or the northern towns of Arica and Iquique.

  • When weather permits, our program will take you skiing to the Andes Mountains. You can come back for a couple of days or more after exams.
