Working under the umbrella of the firm’s wider regulatory practice group, the compliance team at Galicia Abogados S.C. provides a range of foreign and domestic clients with compliance and data privacy support. Assisting with the design and implementation of compliance policies, manuals, and training programs is a pillar of the practice; in addition, the team provides transactional compliance support covering prospective acquisitions and joint ventures. Its expertise extends to managing investigations by Mexican authorities relating to potential violations of anti-bribery and AML regulations. On the data privacy front, the practice group is equipped to advise corporations on information security matters and compliance with international standards, including GDPR. A trio of partners shares leadership: Carlos Chávez is well-versed in compliance matters involving highly regulated industries such as energy and telecoms; Christian Lippert has notable experience in handling investigations by the Mexican Federal Competition Commission; and Juan Carlos Burgos specialises in cartel investigations and antitrust proceedings. Marianela Romero and Irma Ross are the key associate-level contacts for compliance work and data privacy mandates, respectively.
