Members of the ’gender-diverse’ team are roundly praised for being ‘well-prepared’, ’punctual, adaptable and attentive’, and having an ‘excellent professional manner’. Clients predominantly belong to the banking, finance and fintech sectors. At the helm of the practice are founding partner Miguel Gallardo Guerra, who has ’broad experience’ in AML and fintech matters; data protection specialist Héctor Guzmán Rodríguez; and Javier Pérez Moreno, who was promoted to the partnership in February 2022 and advises companies in the fintech, banking, insurance, and health sectors on AML compliance.
