The five-member compliance and anti-corruption team at full-service market stalwart Carey is consistently mandated by both international and domestic clients on complex compliance issues. The team’s expertise encompasses the negotiation and drafting of specialised contractual provisions (covenants, representations, warranties and compliance termination clauses), as well as the design and conduct of compliance due diligence processes for M&A deals and joint ventures. Alongside the firm’s white-collar crime practice, the department assists clients facing criminal enforcement actions; and its track record includes successfully defending legal entities and individuals in high-profile cases involving alleged bribery, money laundering and influence trafficking. Leading the compliance group, Guillermo Acuña (who is also corporate and M&A co-head), is an expert in anti-corruption compliance programmes, multi-jurisdictional exposure to bribery allegations, and internal investigations. Flanking Acuña is associate Pablo Albertz, whose practice comprises corporate-crime risk management, money laundering prevention, and white-collar crime litigation; and senior counsel and criminal law expert Rodrigo Aldoney, whose workload extends to compliance matters and who arrived from BCP Abogados in February 2022.
