Joaquin Willnecker
@joaquinwillnecker
Compliance-focused lawyer driving governance, risk management, and fraud prevention.
ArgentinaWhat I'm looking for
I am a lawyer specializing in compliance, governance, and risk mitigation with hands-on experience in legal control, contract review, and institutional governance processes. I have led regulatory analyses, internal control activities, and fraud-prevention efforts across municipal and private legal settings.
In municipal and firm roles I reviewed and validated over 90 ordinances and resolutions, supported recovery of AR$40M+ through negotiations and legal actions, and led an internal audit in a federal embezzlement investigation improving documentation traceability and identifying control gaps. I also systematized records and optimized case tracking across roughly 30,000 tax-related files, reducing procedural risk.
I pursue continuous professional development in Compliance, AML/CTF, and Anti-Bribery (ISO 37001) and I seek to bring rigorous compliance monitoring, third-party due diligence, and process improvement to corporate environments committed to strong governance and risk controls.
