Argentina > Dispute Resolution: White-collar crime

The market-leading Beccar Varela was the first Argentine firm to create a dedicated white-collar crime and compliance team, combining preventative compliance advice with defence in criminal proceedings. The department is co-led by Manuel Beccar Varela and Francisco Zavalía, both of whom have significant experience in complex criminal litigation. They are supported by advisory partner Jorge Rassó, whose extensive experience as a clerk in the administrative and appeal courts spans more than 40 years, and associate Pedro Noceti Achaval, who plays a key role in managing complex investigations. The team acts on a broad range of matters including bribery, corruption, fraud, money laundering, smuggling and workplace misconduct cases. It conducts internal investigations and represents companies and senior executives across all levels of the Argentine courts. The firm also prosecutes on behalf of clients victimised by economic crimes, offering a dual perspective in white-collar matters. In addition to contentious work, the practice advises on compliance programme development, anti-corruption and anti-money laundering policies, as well as ESG-related issues.
