Hogan Lovells' practice was notably boosted in January 2025 by arrival of the two-man team formerly at Jones Day, comprising Guillermo Larrea and senior associate Juan Carlos Quinzaños. Larrea specialises in digital compliance, anti-corruption, AML, cybersecurity and data protection, and has significant experience designing corporate compliance programmes; Quinzaños is well-versed in cybersecurity, data protection and AI matters, as well as conducting internal investigations. They join a team with substantial expertise in anti-corruption, AML, privacy and cybersecurity from both preventative and investigations perspectives. Corporate clients from the financial services, tech and automotive segments, in particular, frequently look to the practice for assistance implementing codes of conduct, procedures manuals and protocols for interaction with public officials in line with the National Anticorruption System. Leadership is shared between Larrea, Juan Francisco Torres Landa and Carlos Ramos Miranda. Torres Landa deals with commercial and corporate law, along with project finance; while Ramos Miranda focuses on M&A, insurance, energy law and compliance mandates. Also noted are Federico de Noriega Olea (financial transactions, M&A and data privacy issues); and senior associates Julio Zugasti (public procurement, anti-corruption and antibribery matters) and Ana Paula Rumualdo (privacy, data protection, AI and cybersecurity).
