A core area for full-service law firm Guerrero Olivos, its compliance group is able to leverage the specialisms of its corporate governance, competition, antitrust, environmental law, tax, labour, regulatory, and banking and finance teams. The firm’s ‘top-notch, highly specialised lawyers’ are consistently mandated to advise on anti-corruption, corporate criminal liability and anti-money laundering, in relation to both general and industry-specific regulations, as well as lobbying rules and the Freedom of Information Law. Representative experience includes drafting internal codes of conduct, training programmes, and corporate regulations and procedures. Recent matters include advising KGHM, a Polish state-controlled enterprise and major copper and silver producer, on the development and implementation of a global risk assessment policy and crime prevention manual; and assisting Indura Air Products with updating its policies and procedures so as to incorporate recent amendments to Law No. 21,595 on Economic Crimes. The workload of practice head and complex governance specialist Pedro Pellegrini encompasses internal codes, corporate regulations, training programmes and mitigation plans; and in the associate pool, senior Juan José García assists with the design and implementation of compliance programmes, while María José Rodríguez and Joaquín Valenzuela are also experienced compliance group members.
