Compliance
Data breaches, environmental damage, accidents at work and antitrust violations can plunge companies into serious crises. The consequences are substantial financial losses and reputational damage putting the existence of companies at stake.
We advise companies, associations, and organisations on all matters relating to compliance – be it in response to an incident or to proactively safeguard the company. One of our greatest strengths is our extensive experience with complex corporate organisations, with managerial responsibilities, and with internal investigations and audits – covering all other relevant areas of the law, such as commercial law. Our compliance specialists are experts in comprehensive crisis response and proactive audits and we even have certified compliance officers/auditors amongst our lawyers. Depending on our clients’ individual needs, we put together tailored teams of specialised lawyers from the key areas of commercial law. In criminal and non‑compliance proceedings and in proceedings before regulators, we put together dedicated defence teams and witness assistants. We have an excellent network of external specialists such as IT forensics and eDiscovery consultants, experts, PR consultants, crisis communicators and change management experts. We are dedicated to successfully preventing any crisis from putting the existence of your organisation and its leaders at stake.
