Diaz Reus International Law Firm

White-collar crime and investigations is very much a central pillar at Diaz Reus International Law Firm, which -with its headquarters in Miami- has deep connections to Latin America. The firm frequently defends Latin America-based senior executives and government officials in connection with alleged corruption, bribery, money laundering, crypto-currency laundering, and violations of state department sanctions. It has a particularly strong record in money laundering and public corruption cases connected to Venezuela, Mexico, Peru and a range of Central American states, among others. The firm is further noted for its experience in assisting clients with their removal from the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) list, in securing government declinations of criminal prosecutions and in pre-indictment resolutions strategies. The firm’s founder and global managing partner Michael Diaz is a leader in representing Latin American businesses, executives and government officials in connection with alleged corruption and money laundering cases, including securing declinations from prosecutions from the DOJ and the US attorney’s office in Miami; he has also represented several Venezuelan organisations and institutions in connection with OFAC sanctions. Robert Targ is another hugely experienced practitioner in this area, while Marta Colomar-Garcia is noted for her anti-money laundering expertise, along with roles in a range of pre and post-indictment criminal investigations. Javier Coronado Diaz is key figure in many of the firm’s primary engagements, splitting his time between Miami and Bogota. All named individuals are based in Miami unless stated otherwise.
