Anti-Money Laundering & Anti-Corruption

At CHEVEZ, our specialists are certified by the competent authorities in the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing, allowing us to provide comprehensive, strategic advice on compliance with Mexico's Federal Law for the Prevention and Identification of Transactions with Resources of Illicit Origin (LFPIORPI), its regulations, and other applicable provisions.

Our experience has enabled us to support companies across sectors in identifying, implementing, and strengthening their compliance processes, helping mitigate regulatory risk and providing legal certainty regarding their anti-money laundering obligations.

We also advise clients in obtaining formal criteria confirmations from the authorities to determine the applicable treatment of specific transactions and whether they qualify as Vulnerable Activities under current regulations, enabling clients to make informed decisions and ensure proper compliance with their regulatory obligations.

Likewise, we provide specialized support during verification visits, administrative proceedings, and sanctioning proceedings initiated by the authorities, guiding clients through every stage of the process and designing legal strategies aimed at protecting their interests.

Where circumstances require, we represent clients in filing and pursuing legal remedies before administrative authorities and the Federal Court of Administrative Affairs, seeking to safeguard their rights through a solid and effective technical defense. Our track record in this area has enabled us to obtain favorable results in numerous matters relating to compliance with anti-money laundering regulations.

Our services include: compliance diagnostics and audits relating to anti-money laundering; determination and analysis of Vulnerable Activities; drafting and implementation of internal policies and procedures; advice on compliance with identification obligations, case file integration, and filing of notices; obtaining formal criteria confirmations from the competent authorities; handling verification visits and sanctioning proceedings; design and implementation of training programs; filing and pursuing administrative and contentious remedies; and design and implementation of risk-assessment methodologies aligned with the risk-based approach set out in Mexican regulations and international anti-money laundering standards.
