Ms. Perez will be joined by other distinguished panelists—including Manuel Beccar Varela, Honorable Germán C. Garavano, Professor Lucian E. Dervan, Ludmila Groch, and Bruce Swartz—to share insights on the focus that has rested on international white-collar crime in Latin America since the launch of Operation Car Wash in 2014.

Her experience includes handling issues relating to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, commercial bribery, False Claims Act (including government contracting, healthcare and tax matters), environmental crimes and Civil Investigative Demands.
