Compliance
In the corporate world, the term "compliance" refers to a process aimed at ensuring that a company and its employees adhere to all applicable legal and other regulations, standards, and ethical rules relevant to the entity and its field of activity. Properly setting up this process, both in terms of the rules themselves and the tools and procedures designed to enforce them, helps our clients identify potential risks and prevent regulatory violations. Such violations could lead to fines or other penalties, as well as lengthy and costly administrative or legal proceedings. The broad range of legal areas covered by our law firm enables us to provide this service highly effectively, as we can identify risks across various legal disciplines. This also sets us apart from much of our competition, which often lacks such a comprehensive scope.
Services
- We assist our clients in creating, reviewing, and updating their corporate compliance programs as well as addressing any specific issues that may arise in day-to-day compliance practices. Our services cover all key components of a comprehensive compliance program:
- Compliance programs aimed at preventing risks related to corporate criminal liability – We help clients map legal risks they face in their operations.
- Internal rules – We draft policies, codes, procedures, and other documents necessary for a cohesive compliance program, review existing rules, and update them as needed.
- Training – Compliance programs only work if the intended audience is regularly informed in an understandable and relevant manner. Our lawyers prepare and conduct compliance training sessions tailored to various risks and categories of employees.
- Monitoring – We assist clients in setting up procedures and tools to ensure effective control and oversight of compliance rule adherence.
- Reporting – A crucial part of any compliance program, particularly internal reporting systems, which are mandatory for certain entities under the Whistleblower Protection Act. We address issues related to the functioning of reporting systems within corporate groups, often requiring consideration of international legislative requirements.
- Remediation – Regardless of whether we were involved in designing the compliance program, we help our clients resolve identified or emerging issues and prevent them from occurring in the future.
