Biennial IBA Latin American Regional Forum Conference: The Road to 2030 in Latin America

19 Mar - 21 Mar 2025

Session information

Breakout session four - The compliance boom

Description

This session will explore the dynamic and high-stakes world of compliance in Latin America. The companies and individuals who operate in the region face ongoing scrutiny and pressure from traditional outsiders (eg, the US Department of Justice (DOJ), the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), European prosecutors, etc) and the application of their toolset to doing business in the region. However, trends are emerging with regards to local authorities becoming increasingly vigilant, the market being much more sensitive to compliance issues and harsh penalties being introduced and regularly enforced. The pressure to adhere to high standards is consequently mounting.

Navigating the booming compliance landscape in Latin America requires high levels of concentration and dynamic counsel, as it often involves untested regulations, ambiguity and unknown risks. This session will delve into these issues and help you navigate this exciting but uncharted territory.
