About

Provided by Beccar Varela

Accompanying the growing needs of our clients to address local and cross-border compliance and anti-corruption matters, locally and internationally, our firm was a pioneer in offering compliance services among the full-service law firms in Argentina.  We were also the first full-service firm to develop a white-collar & corporate crime department, making our Compliance Department the most comprehensive in the market with vast experience in internal investigations and criminal proceedings.

We offer guidance on business integrity and ethics; anti-money laundering and the financing of terrorism; risk analysis and design, development and implementation of anti-corruption and anti-fraud codes of conduct, policies, and procedures; internal investigations and asset tracing and recovery.  We also advise on the impact of integrity programs in determining criminal liability for a company, its shareholders, and directors, particularly under the new Corporate Criminal Liability Law.

We have worked with the best law firms in the United States, Brazil, and other countries in complex cross-border investigations, both internally and with the intervention of foreign authorities (DoJ, SEC, etc.).

We are the first and only leading law firm in Argentina to join the United Nations Global Compact, and we are members of the B20 Task Force on Integrity and Compliance.
