Practice area
Criminal
We advise companies, boards, and executives facing sensitive criminal and compliance risk in Bolivia. Our practice combines prevention, internal assessment, crisis response, and discreet strategic defence before the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the courts.
Overview
At our firm, we provide specialized legal counsel and representation to individuals and corporations who have been accused of, or may need to accuse others of, criminal conduct.
Our experienced team focuses on protecting client interests through preventative measures, including reviewing and analysing activities that could give rise to criminal exposure, as well as representing those facing claims for financial liability arising from alleged criminal acts.
Our firm specializes in corporate criminal law and is committed to defending the interests of our clients within the scope of criminal law, both before the Public Prosecutor's Office and in trial proceedings.
Our advisory services have expanded to include the design and implementation of self-regulation and prevention mechanisms, particularly following Bolivia's law on criminal liability for legal entities.
