The practice group at
Sainz Abogados is well-placed to assist corporations, their boards of directors and special committees with a broad range of compliance and data privacy mandates. Internal investigations (covering fraud, conflicts of interest, market manipulation, white-collar crime and insider trading) constitute a core area of expertise. The team also demonstrates substantial expertise in the drafting of anti-corruption manuals and AML procedures, risk assessments and internal training sessions, for which it is frequently instructed by clients in the healthcare, financial services and retail segments. Department lead Hugo López-Coll specialises in compliance, M&A transactions, corporate law, private equity and capital markets; his compliance practice is focused on internal investigations, along with AML and anti-corruption regulations. Also noted are counsel Ximena Hernández Negretti, who majors on compliance and data protection (along with real estate transactions and corporate law); and semi-senior associate Héctor Sánchez Fernández, who deals with compliance, corporate and energy matters.
