Gil Robles, recognized by prestigious directories like Chambers and Partners Europe, brings over 20 years of experience in criminal litigation processes and regulatory compliance advisory for national and international companies.

Her expertise extends to labor criminal law, where she has worked closely with internal teams of companies and labor lawyers in defending cases related to crimes against workers’ rights, honor, and reputation of various entities, as well as litigation involving harassment and disclosure of trade secrets.

I am embarking on a path of growth with a great team on both a professional and human level, with whom I share values and a way of working,” she shares.

A staunch advocate for the benefits of Compliance, she emphasizes that “it is not just about avoiding sanctions.” “Today more than ever, compliance is a tool for efficiency and progress for companies. I like to personally engage in each project to understand and convey to the client and their employees the enthusiasm and commitment to ethics and best practices,” Rocío Gil adds.

With a distinguished career as an educator, Gil Robles currently serves as a Compliance professor at ISDE’s Master of Access to the Legal Profession. Additionally, to enrich her educational work and professional development, she is involved in various associations of professionals specialized in Compliance, allowing her to stay continuously updated on regulatory compliance matters.

Cristina de Santiago (pictured right), Managing Partner of ALEDRA, expresses particular pride and happiness in welcoming Rocío Gil to their team: “Rocío was not only my mentor but also a guide in the complex legal world. From her, I learned to focus on excellence and always look to the future of the profession. I admire her values and ethics,” says de Santiago.
