Marval O’Farrell Mairal‘s full-service compliance practice provides advice on anti-corruption issues, internal investigations and related litigation, as well as compliance programmes, and employee compliance training. The firm is known for its multidisciplinary approach and ability to build and coordinate cross-border compliance support teams that include expertise from other professional services disciplines, including public relations, IT and forensic accountancy. The practice is in a phase of transition following the 2023 departures of specialist compliance associate Gonzalo Márquez Alonso and experienced practice head Gustavo Morales Oliver , who has taken up a role with FTI Consulting in Canada. Administrative law partner María Lorena Schiariti, who has worked on various high-level compliance matters over the years, has stepped up to lead the practice alongside well-known criminal litigator Andrew O’Farrell. At the associate level, Maria Agustina Testa offers support in compliance, anti-corruption and investigation matters.
