Cariola Díez Pérez-Cotapos' compliance team is consistently mandated by clients from the mining, construction, healthcare, life sciences, transport, technology, and food and beverage sectors for work on such matters; and the seven-member group routinely leverages the firm’s specialisms in tax, labour and environmental law, as well as data privacy, antitrust and IP. It recently assisted multinational technology company IBM with its new compliance programme in Chile, which involved a full review of internal compliance risks. The practice of department head Jorge Boldt covers companies’ internal investigations, designing and implementing compliance models, and economic crime trials. At associate level, Lorena Avendaño and Simona Marquet also maintain active compliance practices.
