Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP has an outstanding presence in investigations and prosecutions with a large team that focuses much of its attention on the Latin America market. It leads the field in FCPA and anti-corruption work, along with fraud and corporate investigations. The firm continues to stand out in this area thanks to its previous representation of Petrobras in the Operation Lava Jato scandal in Brazil. It has maintained its position through a series of major engagements in major FCPA investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Department of Justice (DOJ), along with voluntary disclosure processes, and substantial internal investigations. Joseph Warin is head of the litigation group in Washington DC and co-chair of the global white-collar defence and investigations practice; he has unrivalled experience in engaging with the DOJ and SEC. Los Angeles partner Michael Farhang is another prominent figure in Latin America, with an impressive record in internal investigations and M&A diligence, and has advised clients in some of the biggest investigations in the region, including in Brazil, Mexico and Venezuela. Former head of the FCPA unit at the DOJ, Patrick Stokes is another key member of the team, along with of counsel Bryan Parr and associate Pedro Soto. All named individuals are based in Washington DC unless stated otherwise.
