/ Alessandri Collaborates with ChileMujeres on “Legal Focus: Monthly Report”

June 5, 2026

With the aim of promoting fairer, more inclusive, and respectful work environments, Alessandri Abogados has joined as a strategic ally in the “Legal Focus: Monthly Report” initiative developed by the ChileMujeres Foundation and Buk.

Foco Legal: Monthly Report seeks to provide relevant legal information that contributes to public debate and the creation of workplaces where all people can exercise their rights on equal terms. Each report addresses highly sensitive social and labor issues, offering regulatory analysis, case law, and data that provide insight into the current situation.

Francisco Espinoza, director of Alessandri’s Labor Department, notes: “Collaborating with ChileMujeres has been both a challenge and an honor. The issues addressed in Foco Legal are essential for promoting equal opportunities, guaranteeing the full exercise of labor and social security rights, and ensuring fair working conditions. These initiatives contribute significantly to the public policy debate, and our commitment has been to generate a real impact that strengthens these objectives.”

In its fourteenth edition, the report focuses on workers who are exempt from working time limits. The document reviews the evolution of this category, analyzes the current legal framework and the new ruling issued by the Labor Directorate that clarifies its application, and presents data on its use in practice. It also examines the main challenges this arrangement poses in terms of co-responsibility and access to employment.
