Its practice covers two branches – the design and implementation of corporate compliance programmes, and defence and litigation on behalf of corporations and directors. Gabriel Calvillo - a former head of the environmental crimes unit of the Attorney General’s Office - steers the practice, and is experienced in litigation and compliance risk analysis. Associate Adriana Morales Figueroa counsels local and international companies on the application of AML regulations. Partner Pilar Mata retired in April 2022.
