More informationMore information

Marval O’Farrell Mairal houses a full service compliance practice capable of handling complex matters such as anti-corruption investigations and associated litigation. The group handles day-to-day compliance work, training and monitoring, and demonstrates a strong track record of working together with foreign lawyers, forensic IT experts, forensic accountants and PR consultants on sensitive cross-border matters. However, the June 2023 departure of specialist senior associate Gonzalo Márquez Alonso, followed by the exit of compliance specialist practice head Gustavo Morales Oliver  to joing FTI Consulting some three months later, has left the group in a process of transition. Administrative law partner María Lorena Schiariti, who has long provided high-level senior support on compliance matters, is currently leading the team with key support from dedicated senior associate, María Agustina Testa (compliance, anti-corruption and investigations).
