Prias Cadavid Abogados’ compliance and white-collar crime team possesses a uniquely deep bench, which sees it field three partners dedicated to economic and corporate criminal law. The boutique firm splits its overarching practice into three standalone subgroups that cover risk prevention, judicial representation, and investigation and evidence collection, respectively, ensuring full-service coverage of corporate crime matters. Founding partners Paula Cadavid and Juan Carlos Prías co-steer the department together with Viviana Gómez Barbosa — all three specialise in criminal law. The team also draws on a deep pool of non-partners, including Juan Pablo Flechas Hernández, who was promoted to director of the litigation area in April 2023; and experienced associate Emilio Restrepo Villegas. Additionally, the firm hired two directors from the Attorney General’s Office during 2023: Juan Guillermo Campo joined in May, while Oscar Mauricio Amaya Vargas arrived in August.
