Its expertise covers internal investigations, enforcement actions, the design of compliance programmes, and defence-side administrative investigations. The team is co-led by regulatory expert Javier Díaz, who assists with regulatory examinations, voluntary disclosures, internal investigations, and transactional due diligence; and managing partner Cristián Barros, whose practice also covers compliance work.
