This Practice Group advises clients in all matters related to compliance in areas and industries subject to regulation, with a focus on minimizing their risks.

In particular, the interdisciplinary team of experienced compliance experts of our Corporate Governance and Regulatory Compliance Practice Group has a very robust practice in corporate internal investigations triggered for multiple reasons such as potential violations to internal code of conducts, corrupt conduct, solicitation of improper payments, conflict of interest, fraud, anti-trust proceedings, among other. Also, we advise on the design, implementation, and evaluation of client tailored corporate compliance models.

We also counsel clients on Mexican anti-corruption regulations and on compliance and/or regulatory audits and their legal implications in connection with M&A, commercial agreements, obtaining licenses and permits or awarding of government contracts, as well as in internal vetting procedures for third parties such as distributors, agents and service providers. Our specialists can also represent clients during administrative proceedings,inspections, administrative and whitecollar litigation, including legal actions against fines, shutdowns, and product seizures among other. We provide advice on Mexican Anti-Money Laundering regulations and compliance implementation, including defense, on the administrative arena, due to investigation proceedings by the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF).
