The group at Von Wobeser y Sierra, SC is well-regarded for its work in the compliance and data privacy arenas. Core areas of expertise for the team include national and cross-border investigations, AML and anti-corruption matters, and the design and updating of internal compliance systems, as well as criminal and civil litigation that arises from investigations. Multinationals working in the oil-and-gas, automotive, pharmaceutical, and beverages sectors have recently looked to the group for support with corruption and white-collar mandates. A trio of partners shares leadership of the practice, comprising: Diego Sierra, who is well-versed in compliance, bankruptcy and restructuring, and commercial litigation; and Raymundo Soberanis and Pablo Fautsch, who deal with civil, commercial, and administrative litigation, arbitration, and anti-corruption matters. Counsel Enrique Riquelme frequently advises individuals and companies regarding white-collar crime matters, including fraud, corporate identity theft and trade secret violations. Counsel Ricardo Cacho, a former director general of procedural control at the Ministry of Finance (SHCP), joined the department in March 2024.
