Veirano Advogados’ compliance practice is part of the firm’s corporate integrity practice, which encompasses the areas of investigations, compliance and white collar. The practice also includes corporate defense in the criminal and administrative spheres, as well as crisis management, risk assessment and fraud investigation.
The investigation practice has developed throughout the last 10 years and has intensified its activities in the last 5 years, as a result of demands by clients and increase in enforcement by Brazilian government authorities, such as the Public Prosecutors, Federal Police and CADE (the Brazilian antitrust authority). In light of specific demands of certain clients, Veirano has developed a highly qualified practice, who often works together with top US firms who have been active in this area for many decades.
The team has been working in many high profile cases for clients in a variety of industries and situations, including in all of the major enforcement actions initiated by Brazilian authorities in recent years, such as the Car Wash Operation, Zealotes Operation, Greenfield Operation, Sépsis Operation, the various operations involving Brazil’s pension funds and others.
Our team approaches clients’ issues by assessing the problems they are facing, recommending a global and coordinated strategy, and assigning the best group of professionals for each project.
