I am a senior associate in the Los Angeles office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and a member of Gibson Dunn’s White Collar Defense and Investigations, Anti-Corruption and FCPA, Securities Enforcement, and Latin America Practice Groups.
My practice focuses on white collar defense and internal and government investigations with an emphasis on cross-border investigations and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). I have represented clients across a variety of industries, including technology, banking and finance, infrastructure, and telecom.
My white collar defense and investigations experience relates to a wide range of topics, including compliance with the FCPA and other anti-bribery laws, securities laws, and anti-money laundering laws. Additionally, I routinely advise clients on the effectiveness of their internal controls and compliance programs, including on ethical matters and in connection with transactional due diligence, with an emphasis on compliance with anti-corruption laws.
I am a native Spanish speaker and have particular expertise in Latin America. I have worked on matters involving Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Uruguay as well as matters involving Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
Additionally, I maintain an active pro bono practice with a focus on criminal defense and immigration matters.
Prior to joining Gibson Dunn, I was a senior associate at WilmerHale and Morrison and Foerster. While there, I handled a broad range of white collar matters and civil litigation matters in federal and state courts.
I received my law degree from the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law in 2014 and my Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science with a minor in Philosophy from Hunter College in 2010.
I am a member of the State Bar of California and am admitted to practice law before the United States District Court for the Central District of California, the Northern District of California, and the Southern District of California.
