Llodrá Estudio Jurídico is a compliance boutique focused on supporting clients in Argentina and Latin America on the design, implementation, monitoring and auditing of compliance programmes. Other key lines of work include compliance due diligence on third parties, suppliers and acquisition targets; the firm is also known for curating bespoke compliance frameworks and staff training. Advice on complying with both foreign legislation, such as the FCPA and the UK Bribery Act, and domestic regulations is another area of focus for the firm, which works with clients in the infrastructure, construction, energy and life sciences sectors, among others. The practice is led by renowned firm founder and compliance specialist Melina Llodrá, who has handled complex investigations, ESG and anti-money laundering matters both in Argentina and abroad. She is supported by a dynamic roster of associates that includes Julieta D’Angelo, who assists with the design and implementation of compliance programmes; anti-money laundering specialist María Florencia Romariz; and Aldana Barrichi, who covers a range of compliance, labour, commercial and contractual matters. The firm recently strengthened its team with the hire of Gabriela Llodrá, who advises companies on commercial, banking and corporate law.
