White collar advisory, in prevention mode.
Preventive advisory and guidance on corporate crime for companies and executives: fraud, fraudulent management and corporate criminal liability. Remote only, under strict confidentiality.
Three fronts, one discipline.
Prevention and controls
You suspect internal fraud or want rules so it never happens: controls, protocols and clear action paths.
Personal exposure
Your signature appears on minutes and powers of attorney. We review your exposure and how to reduce it before there is a problem.
Something was detected
We help you document it, size it and decide the next steps with a cool head.
Prevent first, act with order.
Prevention
A map of the business’s criminal risk, internal protocols and training for key people.
Corporate criminal liability
Diagnosis of the company’s exposure and design of due diligence controls.
Internal investigations
An orderly review of facts and documents when something does not add up, under professional secrecy.
Fraud and fraudulent management
Case analysis, theory of the matter and strategic guidance.
Criminal complaints
We assess whether filing makes sense, what needs to be proven and how to protect the company along the way.
Ongoing guidance
Strategy and support when the matter escalates into a formal investigation, defined stage by stage.
A fixed fee, after diagnosis.
Fees are set in writing after a confidential diagnosis, with scope defined stage by stage. No hourly billing.
Current as of August 2026
Sober, remote and under professional secrecy.
Video calls and documents; no matter in this practice is handled at an office. Discretion and a controlled agenda, by design.
What you share stays protected by professional secrecy, with restricted access inside the firm.
The approach is corporate and preventive: companies, boards and executive teams.
Each stage has its own scope and fee, in writing. You decide how far to go at every point.
We prevent and defend within the law. We do not design schemes to evade it.

The questions people ask quietly.
What is corporate criminal liability?+
In Mexico, companies can be investigated and criminally sanctioned for crimes committed in their name or for their benefit when adequate controls did not exist. Real due diligence protocols, not paper ones, are the best defense and the best argument.
Why is this practice remote only?+
By design: discretion, a controlled agenda and zero unnecessary exposure. Everything is handled by video call and private channels.
How confidential is a consultation?+
It is handled under professional secrecy, with restricted access inside the firm. You can outline the case in general terms on the first call and decide later how much detail to share.
When does preventive advisory make sense?+
Before there is a problem: when receiving investment, when the finance team grows, when controls look weak or when taking a role with broad powers of attorney.
Do you take matters already under investigation?+
That is assessed in the diagnosis. Guidance is defined stage by stage and in writing, and if the matter requires additional capabilities, we tell you plainly.
How much does it cost?+
A fixed fee in writing after a confidential diagnosis. No hourly billing and no surprises along the way.
Shall we talk, discreetly?
Book a confidential video call. Tell us the essentials and we will tell you how we would approach it, stage by stage and in writing.
