Compliance and Investigations

Offering value-added legal advice for implementing effective corporate governance systems and for carrying out internal investigations. 

We advise on adequate legal risk management, which involves designing, implementing and operating compliance management systems tailormade to the needs of each organization, and with which we aim to go beyond criminal defense to guarantee compliance with legal obligations—criminal and non criminal—and obligations assumed voluntarily by the organization.

Thanks to our experience conducting internal investigations at a national and multijurisdictional level, we can provide measured and effective support for planning and carrying out all kinds of internal investigations.

We also provide specialized advice to companies subject to investigation by the World Bank and other multilateral development institutions e.g., in response to these institutions’ requirements.

We form teams tailored to each case, combining the experience of our expert corporate compliance lawyers with that of specialists in different branches of law, including criminal, labor, tax, competition and administrative law. Our advisory service also incorporates specific knowledge of the sector in question.

We provide ongoing advice to compliance officers and other internal supervisory bodies. We also offer continuous training for employees, senior management and boards of directors on topics related to regulatory compliance, including anti-corruption measures, internal information systems and international sanctions.

We have extensive experience in coordinating and supervising projects that involve many jurisdictions and teams, for which we work closely with other top-tier law firms. This enables us to exhaustively advise on complex compliance matters and internal investigations.
