‘On a par with the best in the world’, boutique firm Fabio Humar Abogados combines its specialist compliance and criminal law focus with a strategic alliance with Gómez-Pinzón Abogados (GPA) to provide a unique white-collar crime offering. Enviably well-balanced between compliance and criminal litigation, the comprehensive practice demonstrates strong activity across the full life cycle of issues, from advising on regulatory compliance through to representing clients in disciplinary and criminal investigations and judicial cases. Founding partner Fabio Humar is held up by clients as an ’undisputed leader in the field’ and is defending Conconcreto in proceedings launched by the Prosecutor’s Office concerning white-collar crimes allegedly committed as part of a bidding process. The team also benefits from a strong second line of associates, including senior Sandra Ramón Saavedra, who advises on the full scope of compliance and white-collar crime-related issues but is particularly noted for criminal litigation; and Juan Camilo Casas, who specialises in corporate criminal litigation, anti-money laundering issues, cybercrime law and criminal compliance.
