According to clients, Baker McKenzie S.A.S. houses a ‘very robust compliance practice, which has demonstrated leadership in the LATAM region’. The strength of its compliance group is evidenced by the impressive roster of leading corporates who turn to the team for support, including AT&T and Sony Pictures Entertainment. Significantly, its compliance and investigations expertise is underpinned by an increasingly prominent white-collar crime offering, which routinely handles criminal proceedings regarding white-collar crime, corruption and disloyal administration, among other issues. High-profile competition specialist Carolina Pardo is additionally a key contact for the compliance practice and co-heads the department together with Bibiana Cala, who specialises in criminal litigation. Former senior associate Luís Alberto Castell departed the firm in June 2024.
