The white-collar and compliance practice at Cariola Díez Pérez-Cotapos houses experts in cases involving internal and external frauds, unlawful administration, IP, corruption, and tax crimes. The group’s experience predominantly concerns criminal claimants and victim-assessment matters, but it is increasingly defending companies’ interests during criminal investigations. The group is led by Jorge Boldt, who maintains an active defence-side white-collar crime practice, conducts internal investigations and also undertakes risk assessments. First line associate support is provided by senior Lorena Avendaño, who acts in both civil litigation and criminal defence work; while associate Simona Marquet's experience includes internal investigations into fraud, corruption and medical-device failures.
