Veronica Yepez leads Covington’s compliance and investigations practice in Latin America.

She is an experienced white-collar lawyer who regularly conducts cross-border investigations and represents corporate and individual clients before U.S. criminal and civil enforcement authorities. She has been recognized by Global Investigations Review as one of the world’s top 100 “Women in Investigations” and by Latinvex as among Latin America’s top 100 lawyers.

Complementing her investigations practice, Veronica helps multinational companies and financial institutions manage evolving compliance risks, including with respect to U.S. anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, and anti-terrorism statutes.

A tri-lingual lawyer, Veronica draws upon her deep understanding of local business culture in Latin America and her on-the-ground experience to help clients operating in the region navigate complex cross-border compliance issues.

Prior to joining the firm, Veronica founded a leading compliance practice in Latin America, serving both multinational and Latin American clients.
