All we do is Latin America: business and government relations.
Government, business, and security are intertwined in complex ways, and no one has the reach and regional relationships we do to help our clients achieve their objectives: both foreign investors into Latin America and Latin Americans into the US.
Our focus is always to promote business with financial integrity, delivering results also for the communities in which foreign investors operate. This provides long term resilience for all stakeholders.
Our global reputation for business integrity and the promotion of good governance is based on over a decade of international research, publications, and policy support: Illicit Trade: Converging Criminal Networks (OECD, 2016); The Many Criminal Heads of the Golden Hydra: How the Tri-Border Area’s International Arcs of Crime Create LatAm’s #1 International Fusion Center (Counter-Extremism Project, 2018); Blood Profits (by our founder Dr. Vanessa Neumann, 2017), and its Brazilian version Lucros de Sangue (2018); Venezuela’s Gold: Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (OECD, 2021).
True to our roots in countering corruption and other illicit financial flows, we offer our expertise and assistance to a number of endeavors that strengthen democratic governance, from anti-corruption to countering violent extremism, in line with the values of our founder, Dr. Vanessa Neumann.
The strategic locations of our offices enable us to attend to our clients’s needs and maintain key relationships between Latin America and global financial centers.

Strategic Coherence in the Western Hemisphere Starts with Supply Chains
Unfortunately for those of us whose AOR (area of responsibility) is Latin America, the only time the Western Hemisphere enters a political discussion is in two contexts: a migratory crisis reaching the United States or talk of Russia or China “messing about” in “America’s backyard.” There are a number of problems with these formulations, and […]
