Agreement
Agreement

The establishment of a Chilean entity was an orderly evolution, and was handled in a knowledgeable and intelligent manner. When issues regarding employment law in Chile surfaced, HGG was ready and able to guide us through the “mine fields” of having independent contractors versus employees. We have been impressed by the availability and thoughtfulness of the staff – we were never “put on hold.” Without reservation, I can recommend HGG to represent the legal and business interests of any U.S. company about to enter the Chilean marketplace.

Corporate Agreements and Cross-Border Compliance

Case overview

HGG advised a global compliance management company on reviewing and refining critical corporate agreements, including services provided in Chile. This included a short-term Master Services Agreement and two key agreements with a leading global engineering company. The work ensured all agreements met international and local standards, clearly defined responsibilities, and provided a robust foundation for the company’s global operations.

Firm´s role

HGG reviewed and strengthened key provisions across all agreements, including terms of service, subscription fees, indemnities, suspension clauses, intellectual property rights, and compliance obligations. For the engineering company agreements, our team ensured the terms protected the client’s interests, aligned with the partner’s operational framework, and incorporated recommendations to strengthen the client’s position. All work supported cross-border operations and international legal compliance.

Benefits

HGG’s guidance provided the client with a solid contractual framework that mitigates legal and operational risks, protects intellectual property, and ensures compliance. The agreements clarify responsibilities, reinforce partner relationships, and enable confident delivery of services across jurisdictions.

HGG helped us identify a suitable acquisition target to enter the South American market, We gave them a brief of the type of business we were seeking and they delivered exactly what we asked for on time. They introduced us to a shortlist of companies and assisted in the negotiation with the preferred companies.

Whenever we encountered an issue, HGG did everything possible to find a solution. They worked tirelessly and proactively to satisfy our objectives. The outcome was a successful acquisition and the start of what we’re confident will be a long-term growth strategy.

I’d recommend HGG to businesses looking to enter and/or grow in South America. HGG has a deep understanding of what’s important to Australian companies and how we operate. They will help navigate the likely challenges.
