WE HAVE A TRADITION OF PROVIDING FREE LEGAL SERVICES TO LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS AND CHARITIES THAT CANNOT ACCESS LEGAL SERVICES BY THEIR OWN MEANS.
We have a Pro Bono Committee for these purposes, which analyzes free legal assistance matters and cases and decides on them.

In 2019 we received the “Probono Project Award of the Year”. The prestigious English publication, Latin Lawyer, recognized our work with the Fundación Desafío Levantemos Chile in the reconstruction of the township of Santa Olga, destroyed by fires in 2017.
IN PRIETO WE SEEK TO INCORPORATE THE BEST GRADUATES OF THE MOST RENOWNED LAW SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTRY.
We seek to train lawyers from the beginning of their careers, so each new associate starts working under the direct supervision of a partner of Prieto.
While training our lawyers, we give them the opportunity of working in the different areas of the law firm, in order to provide them with comprehensive training with broad experience and exposure to different matters.
Once they have joined Prieto, we expect that our associates will be interested in continuing to hone their academic and professional skills through postgraduate degrees, academic activities and others.
