CRIMINAL LIABILITY:
A STRATEGIC ALLY
Corporate criminal liability establishes that legal entities can be held responsible and, therefore, sanctioned for the commission of certain crimes. This liability arises from the need to ensure that companies, as key actors in society, comply with the law and avoid engaging in unlawful conduct.
Companies can be held liable for a variety of crimes, including, among others, corruption, money laundering, tax offenses, environmental crimes, and crimes committed through electronic means. Corporate criminal liability may arise from the lack of adequate internal controls, failure to supervise employees, or the commission of crimes for the company’s benefit. Penalties for companies may include fines, suspension of activities, closure of facilities, and even dissolution of the company.
At JJP Abogados, we understand the importance of ensuring that companies comply with the law and avoid the commission of crimes. We offer a full range of services to help businesses manage criminal risks and protect their interests:

Through internal audits and the proper application of legal standards, the risks of incurring corporate criminal liability are significantly reduced.
