LEC, Litigio Estratégico y Compliance, S.C. is a law firm specialised in constitutional, administrative, civil and criminal litigation, as well as in compliance, investigations, anticorruption, anti-money laundering, corporate governance, project finance and public law.
We advise our clients on strategically critical aspects of compliance, from preventative to investigations and litigation related to criminal and administrative issues. Compliance programmes are the most effective means to prevent and detect events that may generate administrative and criminal liability for legal entities. Likewise, they constitute an important mitigation or even exemption from liability to the extent that the effectiveness of these programmes is demonstrated. Therefore, we focus on helping our clients develop, implement, monitor and improve their compliance programmes on a continuous basis.
We are specialists in corporate investigations, including investigations related to crimes of corruption and fraud. We work collaboratively with leading international law firms and forensic firms that conduct multijurisdictional investigations. Meanwhile, synergies with our litigation team make us unique in our approach to investigations with criminal and administrative implications.
Our experience includes the legal framework applicable in Mexico and, in the case of foreign companies, we also have experience in the application and compliance of such laws as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of the United States of America (FCPA) and the UK Bribery Act.
