Pamela AlarcónPhilippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría

The ‘very dynamic team’ at Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría maintains an interdisciplinary approach to white-collar crime issues, where it benefits from its ability to lean on the wider full-service firm to provide coverage of contentious and non-contentious matters. On the compliance front, the group advises domestic and multinational corporations on the development of internal compliance and risk prevention programmes. On the white-collar crime side, the team is predominantly known for its representation of victims in criminal matters, although it also acts for defendants. Led jointly by Pamela Alarcón, who focuses exclusively on compliance and criminal law matters, and former Attorney General of the Nation Juan Carlos Forero, the group also draws on the specialist support of associate Armando Lacouture. Associate Andrea Succar left in September 2022.
