We advise domestic and foreign clients in connection with the design and implementation of compliance policies and manuals. Because of the Firm’s strong cross-border transactional practice, we are very familiar with the global compliance policies of our foreign clients and constantly work with them to harmonize their policies with Mexican law and business practices.

As part of these efforts, we design and train executives, directors and employees on a variety of compliance-related matters.

Our transactional work includes a client´s due diligence on potential acquisitions, joint ventures, partnerships, participation in public procurement processes and high-profile recruiting.

We frequently advise our clients in investigations related to potential violations of anti-bribery, financials, data privacy and competition laws, among others. Likewise, we represent them in investigations conducted by the Federal Competition Commission, Federal Telecommunications Institute, Rail Regulatory Agency, National Banking and Securities Commission and Federal Data Protection Institute.

Our administrative litigation capabilities allow us to assist our clients in proceedings before federal and state authorities, law enforcement and judicial review of regulatory authorities' resolutions.

Our global reach has allowed us to work closely with several international law firms in the implementation of compliance policies that conform to both foreign and Mexican anticorruption laws. Likewise, we have acted as Mexican counsel in several United States or Europe driven investigations (under FCPA, UK Bribery Act and similar legislation).

We are members of the Latin American Compliance and Investigation League, an effort launched in 2019 to gather law firms doing compliance and investigations work in the region, share experiences and explore potential collaborations for the benefit of common clients. LACIL currently has members from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.

Our Compliance & Investigations practice has a strong team of professionals led by partners recognized in renowned international publications as expert lawyers in the Compliance practice.
