Mitrani Caballero & Ruiz Moreno Abogados‘s longstanding compliance department handles a broad range of domestic regulatory matters and work involving international regimes such as the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the UK Bribery Act. Anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, terrorist financing prevention, data protection, export controls and sanction regime issues are all covered by a team that has built up unique experience in handling talks with foreign authorities, such as the US Department of Justice and is well versed in the workings of EU and UK regulatory regimes. In addition to its portfolio of cross-border work, the firm also advises on Argentine anti-corruption law and is sought out for assistance with self-disclosure issues, risk mitigation and investor litigation. Compliance training, implementation and due diligence engagements are other areas of activity. The practice is co-led by the vastly experienced Cristian Mitrani, who handles corporate investigations, critical litigation and risk mitigation matters; and respected compliance specialist Mariela Inés Melhem, who holds deep expertise in crisis management, corporate investigations and global trade compliance matters. Further partner-level experience is provided by anti-corruption, compliance and privacy law expert María Paula Díaz. Sofía Amuchástegui Heinonen is the main contact at the associate level and specialises in cross-border commercial contracts and general compliance management work.
