Mijares’ Regulatory Compliance practice advises companies and organizations on the design, implementation, and assessment of compliance programs aligned with the highest national and international standards.
We guide clients through the fulfillment of specific obligations in highly regulated industries—including financial services, energy, and pharmaceuticals—as well as cross-cutting areas such as anti-money laundering and personal data protection. Our counsel combines deep legal expertise, sector-specific technical knowledge, and a practical, preventive approach.
In an increasingly stringent and globally scrutinized regulatory landscape, we deliver comprehensive solutions that enable clients to meet their obligations without compromising business objectives or corporate reputation. Our practice works closely with the Criminal Compliance, White Collar, and Environmental teams to provide a coordinated and strategic response to complex regulatory risks, combining legal precision with technical insight.
We assist organizations in identifying, assessing, and prioritizing risks derived from the regulatory framework applicable to their industry. Our goal is to transform legal requirements into management tools that enhance decision-making and reduce legal and reputational contingencies.
Our services range from the design and implementation of comprehensive compliance risk management systems to the development of risk matrices, control maps, and corrective action plans. We also support clients in defining key indicators, monitoring processes, and governance schemes that allow companies to anticipate regulatory changes and respond swiftly and effectively to supervision, audits, or regulatory incidents.
We provide counsel in internal investigations, the preparation of independent reports, and the implementation of preventive measures to avoid recurrence. Our advisory services cover the civil, administrative, and corporate aspects of investigations, offering strategic non-criminal support.
We work closely with international legal teams to ensure a coherent global strategy, secure and orderly handling of evidence, effective stakeholder communication, and rigorous compliance with regulatory authorities across jurisdictions.
Additionally, we assist clients in reviewing and strengthening internal processes, as well as drafting key documents related to whistleblower mechanisms — including policies, procedures, and investigative protocols for regulatory compliance. We advise Ethics Committees and other governing bodies on matters within their scope of responsibility.
We represent clients before administrative authorities and regulatory bodies in proceedings related to alleged non-compliance with regulatory obligations. Our involvement includes fact-finding, analysis of the applicable legal framework, legal strategy design, on-site inspections, preparation of responses, and corrective negotiations.
We assist clients by conducting independent reviews of their internal processes to strengthen regulatory compliance through the identification of deficiencies and/or areas for improvement. We also support them during audits, inspections, and regulatory reviews, helping enhance internal systems and mitigate legal and reputational risks. In anti-money laundering (AML) matters, we advise financial institutions, fintech companies, insurers, and other regulated entities and vulnerable activities on compliance with applicable regulations.
Our services include the design and implementation of policies, manuals, risk matrices, awareness and training strategies, and due diligence procedures aligned with CNBV, SAT, UIF, and international standards. Regarding personal data protection, we support organizations in designing controls and protocols for the proper handling of information, preparing and updating privacy notices, and establishing offices and procedures for ARCO rights response, ensuring compliance with applicable laws and international standards.
We provide cross-cutting legal support to ensure compliance with regulatory obligations in the areas of tax, antitrust, and financial regulation.
In tax matters, we advise clients on managing risks arising from regulatory changes, ensuring timely compliance with reporting obligations, and implementing internal control mechanisms that strengthen their processes and reduce contingencies.
In antitrust, we support the design of internal compliance programs, codes of conduct, and preventive measures against anti-competitive practices, in alignment with authority guidelines.
For financial entities, we offer legal guidance to adapt operational processes, contracts, and corporate structures to applicable regulatory frameworks, including secondary regulations and prudential oversight.
At Mijares, we approach regulatory compliance as a strategic driver of business continuity, institutional reputation, and engagement with regulatory authorities. We support companies operating in regulated industries in building compliance frameworks tailored to their risk profile, applicable regulatory bodies, and business objectives.
Our practice works closely with the ESG, White Collar, Litigation, Corporate and Environmental teams, allowing us to provide coordinated advice in the context of audits, regulatory reporting, enforcement proceedings, and complex regulatory updates.
