Dispute resolution: white-collar crime

Carey

With ‘solid knowledge of criminal investigations and trials’, Carey's multidisciplinary law team specialises in highly complex litigation at both national and international levels. Assisting with risk prevention, internal investigations and how to respond to criminal contingencies, the department focuses on economic and tax crimes, violations of anti-corruption laws, domestic and international asset laundering, and breaches of industrial and intellectual property legislation. The full-service firm also fields experts in cybercrime. In recent highlights, the group acted in a criminal investigation, which was initiated further to a criminal unfair administration complaint for the falsification of financial and accounting records. The six-strong department is co-led by Gonzalo Fernández, who focuses on litigation, national and international arbitration, securities, and corporate and business law; and senior counsel and criminal law specialist Rodrigo Aldoney, who predominantly advises on economic crimes, fraud, environmental offences, antitrust, and general litigation. ’Highlighted not only for his knowledge but also for his availability’, Aldoney additionally assists corporate boards with compliance issues, disputes, and internal corporate investigations. In the firm’s associate ranks, the wide-ranging criminal law practice of senior Eduardo Alcaíno focuses on white-collar crime, compliance work and complex litigation. Former associate Caterina Ravera departed the firm in late 2023.
