Criminal compliance involves a range of measures designed to ensure that a company's activities comply with the law, thereby eliminating any potential violations by beneficiaries or managers and preventing subsequent criminal prosecution. It is an effective way to mitigate the risks associated with a company's activities. The recommended measures are designed on a case-by-case basis, considering the specifics of each client's business model, industry, and other factors, and are developed by lawyers with experience in law enforcement.
A multidisciplinary legal team may include experts in taxation, sanctions regulations, bankruptcy proceedings, and labour law. Our lawyers take a comprehensive approach to corporate matters. They review major transactions and managerial decisions requiring corporate approval to identify the risk of accusing senior managers of abusing their authority. They also review business processes and conduct internal due diligence, i.e. they assess the company's legal relationships with its employees. Our lawyers also provide training for employees on how to minimise the risk of criminal liability.
