Cariola Díez Pérez-Cotapos' white-collar crime and compliance practice is experienced in cases involving company-related internal and external frauds, as well as unlawful administration, IP issues, corruption, and tax and environmental crimes.

Team head and economic crime specialist Jorge Boldt assists with risk assessments, along with company-related internal investigations into fraud, corruption, medical liability and environmental damages. At associate level, the caseload of senior Lorena Avendaño covers both civil litigation and criminal defence work; Simona Marquet is experienced in compliance matters and internal investigations; Camila Arenas assists with economic crime mandates and compliance programmes; and Cristóbal Thompson’s practice encompasses companies’ internal investigations, compliance model implementation and criminal litigation.
