Carey

‘Constituting one of the most prepared teams in Chile’, Carey's compliance and anti-corruption team is sought out by major companies to assist with corporate compliance matters, particularly in relation to anti-corruption measures and the criminal accountability of legal entities. The group’s specialisms cover policy formulation, compliance programmes, preventive models, due diligence processes, contractual clauses, and internal investigations; and its advice further encompasses international laws and regulations, particularly the US’ Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act.  In recent highlights, the team was mandated by ENAP to produce a comprehensive evaluation of its environmental and economic risks, in relation to the legislation on the criminal liability of legal entities (modified by Chile’s Law No 21,595 on Economic Crimes, which came into force in August 2023). The compliance practice of team head Guillermo Acuña, who is also a corporate and M&A co-leader, focuses on designing and implementing anti-corruption compliance programmes; conducting internal investigations; and advising on clients’ multi-jurisdictional exposure to bribery allegations. Providing key support, senior counsel Rodrigo Aldoney is an expert in criminal-related compliance work; and in the firm’s associate ranks, Pablo Albertz’s workload covers criminal compliance, anti-corruption, money laundering prevention, corporate crime risk management, and white-collar crime-related litigation.
