He is skilled in developing effective procedural strategies to protect his client's rights and interests.

He advises on the design and implementation of compliance programs and corporate crime prevention models, in accordance with anti-money laundering regulations under the supervision of the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF) and in line with Law No. 30424 on corporate criminal liability. His experience in corporate compliance includes evaluating policies and procedures for the development of gap reports; adapting compliance programs subject to foreign or cross-border regulations (such as the FCPA and UK Bribery Act); conducting integrity checks (background checks); leading and executing internal investigations at all stages; and providing legal assistance in certification (ISO) and due diligence processes for financings and mergers and acquisitions.

He served as a criminal prosecutor in the Judicial District of Arequipa during the implementation of the new Criminal Procedure Code. He was also an advisor to the High Office of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights and to the High-Level Anti-Corruption Commission. In these roles, he actively participated in the review of the draft of the new Criminal Code (2014), specifically in the development, discussion, and approval of Law No. 30424 —regulating corporate criminal liability for corruption, money laundering, tax, and customs crimes, among others —and in the incorporation of the Peruvian State as a full member of the OECD Working Group on Bribery.
