About

Jaime Viveros concentrates his practice on Compliance, where he has advised a wide range of clients in the analysis and design of compliance plans, crime prevention models, strategies to avoid unlawful conduct, and compliance control mechanisms following the provisions of Law that establish the criminal liability of legal entities for the crimes of money laundering, financing of terrorism, and bribery (No. 20.393) and the Law that systematizes economic crimes and environmental offenses (No. 21.595) and sectorial compliance systems.

In that sense, Jaime's advisory services include Compliance concerning other regulations, such as Antitrust, Consumer Law, Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing, and the Protection of Personal Data in the retail, energy, and technology industries, among other sectors.

In addition, Jaime specializes in the planning, development, and execution of highly complex internal investigations, covering cases of fraud, labor accidents, environmental issues, and regulatory non-compliance. His comprehensive approach allows him to consider all dimensions of his client's businesses, ensuring strategic solutions tailored to their needs.
