Guerrero Olivos

Guerrero Olivos' five-strong specialist compliance group regularly works alongside the firm’s corporate governance, antitrust, environmental, tax, labour, regulatory, and banking and finance teams. The full-service practice’s principal areas are analysing business models, and implementing crime prevention models to ensure compliance with financial crime-related legislation. The group also assists with drafting internal codes of conduct and corporate regulations; and it is notably active in the energy, mining, financial services, and food and beverage sectors (among others). Recent mandates include the team’s assistance to Indura Air Products with the updating, drafting and implementation of a crime prevention model, as well as its advice to The Kraft Heinz Company on a compliance memorandum. It was also mandated by electricity producer and distributor AES Andes to assist with strengthening its compliance system. The group is headed up by Pedro Pellegrini, a governance expert who is experienced in internal codes, corporate regulations, training programmes, mitigation plans, and reporting to internal and external entities. Supporting Pellegrini at associate level, Joaquín Valenzuela is a criminal law expert and October 2023 recruit from Dal Pozzo Medina Abogados; Alejandra Leiton combines corporate governance expertise with competition law experience; and senior Juan José García is another key compliance team member.
