Tara MacMillan

As Nardello & Co.’s Chief Professional Officer and Regional Head of the Americas, Tara MacMillan oversees the quality of the firm’s investigations globally and directs its work in the region. Tara has extensive experience managing complex litigation support, due diligence, compliance reviews, and asset tracing investigations both in the US and internationally.

Tara manages the firm’s international anti-corruption compliance relationships for several multinational clients. She has conducted investigations and helped clients develop their compliance programs for key suppliers, distributors, and third-party representatives. Among other specific services, Tara helps strengthen clients’ review processes, customize questionnaires, or tailor reporting elements for employees and agents. Her casework includes investigating instances of fraud, embezzlement, bribery, and kickbacks related to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, anti-money-laundering regulations, and whistleblower allegations.

Tara also has extensive experience managing due diligence investigations. On behalf of firms interested in expanding into Latin America or Europe or considering international acquisitions, she has led investigations to pinpoint potential risks—such as corruption and organized crime—by uncovering ownership interests and political and governmental affiliations. In hostile takeovers, proxy contests, and tender offers, Tara’s knowledge and experience have contributed to successful outcomes.
