Compliance, anti-corruption and internal investigations

Allende & Brea is a leader in the area of compliance, anti-corruption and internal investigations in Argentina. Our solid expertise includes advising national and international clients in the evaluation of legal and reputational risks inherent to their business in general, or associated with specific activities, as well as with the acquisition of strategic assets. We conduct internal investigations with the highest standards of confidentiality and professionalism, offer customized advice on compliance programs, and provide training to directors, managers and staff on the subject.

Our local and international advice also includes:

  • Support to the four pillars of corporate governance – board, management, internal and external auditors – to ensure that the organization operates within legal and ethical frameworks, mitigating risks and promoting a culture of integrity.
  • Investigation of potential conduct violations established in the companies’ codes of conduct or ethical standards, as well as from best corporate governance practices, such as conflicts of interest, internal irregularities and violations of privacy rights.
  • Preventing, assessing and addressing conduct covered by specific applicable anti-corruption regulations, including Argentine legislation, the United States of America (FCPA) and the United Kingdom (UK Bribery Act).
  • Design, implementation and audit of integrity programs, including risk analysis and assessment, drafting of internal codes and policies, and trainings addressed to all levels of the organization.
  • Identification and analysis of ethical issues with potential reputational impact.
  • Strategic management of crisis situations.
  • Anti-corruption due diligence in local and international transactions, including M&A.
  • Drafting and review of contractual clauses related to anti-corruption obligations and compliance standards.
  • Background anti-corruption checks on both individuals and legal entities.

 

In order to carry out these services with the highest standards, we have a team of professionals specialized in the application of best corporate governance practice and business development ethics. In addition, we work in coordination with other areas of the Firm -intellectual property, technology, environment, antitrust, labor, banking, administrative, among others-, which allows us to offer comprehensive legal solutions, with an interdisciplinary and strategic perspective.
