About Carolina

Carolina is the founding Chilean attorney behind Lawyer in Chile and OK Legal, a law firm that serves English-speaking clients abroad. She graduated in legal sciences with distinction and practices immigration law, business and company law, employment law and criminal defense. Most of her clients are foreigners who need a lawyer in Chile before they arrive: people applying for a visa or residency, buying property, setting up a company, hiring staff, or settling an inheritance. You talk with her directly in English by video call, email or WhatsApp, and everything is handled remotely from Santiago, so you never have to travel to sign. Court and government filings are made in Spanish, as Chilean law requires, and she explains each step in plain English, with a clear scope and fee agreed before work begins. If you are not sure which kind of case you have, start with a free case review and she will tell you what applies to your situation.
