Debevoise & Plimpton LLP litigation partner Andrew Levine served as editor of the third edition of Latin Lawyer’s “The Guide to Corporate Compliance.” In addition to writing the guide’s introduction, he and counsel Erich Grosz contributed a chapter on “Assessing and Mitigating Compliance Risks in the Transactional Context.”

While focusing on examples from Latin America, the guide includes insights that have global relevance, illustrating how compliance is a continuing process of assessing risks in an environment of ever-increasing expectations. In particular, the book addresses Latin America’s compliance landscape, key considerations in building an effective compliance program, perspectives on compliance as a business advantage, specific legislative and regulatory pressure points, compliance challenges in certain higher-risk industries, and compliance trends to watch.

The guide is available to view as a PDF online or for purchase in hard copy here.
