Sánchez Devanny's compliance offering encompasses internal investigations, compliance risk assessments, the design and implementation of compliance programmes, and the provision of advice on local and international AML regulations. The group’s expertise extends to litigating on behalf of clients facing administrative proceedings, inspections, fines, shutdowns and product seizures. The practice is co-directed by three partners: Daniel Maldonado Alcántara, who is based in Querétaro; and José Alberto Campos Vargas and Guillermo Villaseñor Tadeo, both of whom are based in Mexico City. Maldonado specialises in corporate governance and compliance matters and has notable experience assisting companies in the pharmaceutical, automotive and energy segments with compliance investigations and risk assessments. Campos Vargas handles compliance procedures involving heavily regulated industries, while Villaseñor majors on tax mandates. Ex-practice co-head Humberto Morales Barrón left the group in April 2023, along with senior associates Oscar Quiroz and Alberto Lascurain.
