Back to original languageAbout Jimena
My career as a lawyer stems from a clear idea: law not only serves to resolve conflicts once they have erupted, but also to anticipate them and, when they occur, minimize their impact.
I began my career in criminal law firms, participating in complex proceedings where I learned to build defenses based on evidence, detailed analysis, and procedural strategy. That experience allowed me to understand that, in most legal conflicts, the underlying problem is not solely legal but also risk management.
With that vision, I transitioned into the corporate world, where I took on roles such as Chief Compliance Officer in regulated entities. I developed a more structural approach to law: as a continuous system of control, decision-making, and prevention.
In that environment, I consolidated my specialization in compliance, anti-money laundering, and financial regulation, designing and implementing internal control models, corporate policies, and risk management systems that are real and operational.
Today, I lead my own firm, where I currently serve as managing partner in economic criminal law and compliance. This allows me to cover the entire legal cycle: from prevention and risk structuring to defense in complex judicial proceedings.
I have complemented my professional practice with teaching in compliance and legal cybersecurity programs, which requires me to stay constantly updated in a particularly technical and changing regulatory environment.
I work with companies and professionals who need more than just occasional legal advice: they seek a clear strategy, a risk perspective, and legally sound decision-making.
I specialize in complex conflicts with economic or reputational impact, regulated or financial environments, and in the creation and review of compliance and prevention systems.
My approach is always the same: clarity, strategy, and risk control.
