Chapters

Puerto Rico

Spearheaded by McConnell Valdés LLC, and lead by María A. Domínguez, leader of the firm’s Government Enforcement & White Collar Defense Practice, the Puerto Rico Chapter was launched in 2016. The group is comprised of a group of white collar practicing lawyers who have represented corporations and individuals facing criminal charges. It is the group's goal to expand its presence to include other professionals and legal consultants whose primary practice area is white collar criminal and government enforcement defense in Puerto Rico.
