Delivering ‘a good level of technical knowledge’, BH Compliance’s sizeable practice assists over 200 national and international companies with the monitoring of their compliance programmes. The group’s assistance covers various economic and environmental crimes, as well as international recommendations and guidelines. The ‘consistent and responsible’ department also advises on the US Department of Justice’s FCPA standards.  Recent mandates for the team include advising both Spanish multinational telecoms company Telefónica and British multinational mining company Anglo American with their compliance programmes. The main figures in the ’serious, responsible and thorough’ practice are: Ramón Montero, who heads the firm’s certification and monitoring processes for companies’ compliance programmes, crime prevention models, corporate governance, and antitrust, competition and consumer protection compliance; legal and compliance director Francisco Bilbao; and CEO Susana Sierra, who is based in the firm’s Miami office. According to some clients, Montero and Bilbao, who ‘have extensive knowledge of compliance practice’ are ’undisputed leaders in the compliance sector’, while sub-director Tomás Undurraga‘s experience includes participating in over 100 certification and recertification processes for companies. Undurraga’s notable achievements at the firm also include leading the development of an automated web platform, which allows companies to monitor compliance programmes throughout the region on a continuous basis.
