Womble Bond Dickinson, Campos Mello Advogados Discuss “U.S. & Latin America Enforcement Updates” at Event in Brazil

Womble Bond Dickinson and Campos Mello Advogados recently held a strategic panel discussion examining key enforcement developments in the U.S. and their direct and indirect implications across Latin America. The conversation connected regulatory trends, cross-border investigations, executive decision-making, and enterprise risk management in an increasingly coordinated global enforcement environment.

Womble Bond Dickinson Partner David DiBari and Campos Mello Advogados Partner Ricardo Caiado spoke at the event, which was moderated by Juliana Oliveira Nascimento, Head of Risks, Compliance and Actuarial at Sompo and the Co-Founder of the Compliance Women Committee (CWC).

The enforcement landscape across the United States and Latin America continues to evolve rapidly, creating increasingly complex challenges for multinational companies, boards of directors, and Compliance, Risk, Legal, ESG, and Governance leaders operating in the region.

The Panel addressed such topics as:

• Updates on policies and priorities of the U.S. Department of Justice and their extraterritorial impact in Latin America.
• New directions in anti-corruption enforcement (FCPA and local anti-corruption frameworks), including coordinated investigations between U.S. and Latin American authorities.
• The evolution of the U.S. Corporate Enforcement Policy and its interaction with Latin American leniency and cooperation regimes.
• Sanctions, export controls, and trade tariffs: cross-border exposure and compliance challenges for companies operating in or with Latin America.
• Increasing expectations around governance, third-party due diligence, ESG integration, and corporate accountability across jurisdictions
• Practical guidance for boards and executives managing enforcement risk in multi-jurisdictional environments.

This session provided a comparative and strategic perspective for companies navigating regulatory exposure in both the U.S. and Latin American markets, with actionable insights for strengthening compliance frameworks and mitigating cross-border risk. The event took place March 11 at Campos Mello Advogados offices in São Paulo.
