Cases involving Venezuela are something of a mainstay, along with Brazil, Colombia and Mexico. The firm is also a giant in white-collar crime and sanctions matters thanks in large part to the presence of global managing partner Michael Diaz, who continues to represent a number of Venezuelans facing investigations and has also landed a series of major engagements from Central America; he continues to represent a number of government and ex-government officials and has additionally furthered the firm’s standing in Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)-related matters and acting for individuals on the Engel list.

The firm is further noted for its experience in assisting clients with their removal from the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) list, in securing government declinations of criminal prosecutions and in pre-indictment resolutions strategies. Michael Diaz is a leader in representing Latin American businesses, executives and government officials in connection with alleged corruption and money laundering cases, including securing declinations from prosecutions from the DOJ and the US attorney’s office in Miami; he has also represented several Venezuelan organisations and institutions in connection with OFAC sanctions.
