Anti-corruption and compliance continue to be very hot topics in Latin America, mostly driven by legislative changes in the different jurisdictions, new corruption scandals and enforcement initiatives. The challenges for companies operating in the region are now bigger, especially for those companies operating on a multi-jurisdictional basis. Therefore, it is of great importance to proactively identify and seek to mitigate potential risks, whether it is for day-to-day operations, individual transactions or internal investigations.

Items addressed will include:

• Compliance due diligence and internal investigations in M&A transactions

• How to coordinate internal investigations in which facts may be subject to the laws of different jurisdictions

• How to preserve Attorney Client Privilege in multi-jurisdictional internal investigations
