About

Provided by Baker McKenzie

Our practice is uniquely positioned to provide clients with top notch Compliance services. In comparatively smaller markets like Argentina in particular, Compliance law at the highest level has become increasingly intertwined with other traditional practice areas. We approach our work from a ´four pillars´ mindset: prevention, internal investigations, litigation, and transactional work, and we have market leading expertise to assist with all of these.

Our core practice is internal investigations and criminal proceedings related to corruption, fraud, money laundering and other corporate crimes.

We provide risk assessment around clients’ exposure to fraud and corruption charges under criminal and administrative law. We help clients establish appropriate risk control mechanisms and procedures to mitigate exposure to compliance violations, such as implementing hotlines for reporting misconduct.

We engineer and develop corporate compliance programs and design codes of conduct in compliance with both international regulations and Argentine laws, and we conduct audits to identify and evaluate current compliance programs, practices and agreements.

We also develop and provide our clients with training programs and guidelines so they can effectively implement compliance policies and procedures.

We play an active role in many prominent industry-related professional groups currently working to develop local standards on anti-corruption prevention measures.
