OUR APPROACH

How We Advise on Compliance Programs and Risk Prevention

  1. Why Generic Policies Rarely Work

    Effective compliance programs must reflect the actual risks of the business, its industry, geographic footprint, ownership structure and commercial activities. Generic policies are rarely sufficient.

  2. What Our Compliance Frameworks Cover

    We assist clients with developing and improving compliance frameworks covering anti-bribery and corruption, anti-money laundering, sanctions, conflicts of interest, fraud prevention, whistleblower procedures, third-party due diligence, internal controls and investigation-response protocols.

  3. Advising Boards on Governance and Reporting

    Our lawyers advise management and boards on governance structures, compliance responsibilities, reporting mechanisms and procedures for identifying and addressing potential misconduct.

  4. Compliance Risk Assessments Before Growth or Market Entry

    We also conduct compliance risk assessments for companies preparing for investment, acquisition, international expansion or entry into regulated markets.

  5. Compliance as Part of Investment and Acquisition Due Diligence

    For investors and acquirers, compliance analysis is often a critical component of due diligence. A target company’s historical conduct, internal controls, government relationships, third-party intermediaries and regulatory exposure may materially affect valuation and transaction risk.

  6. Identifying Compliance Issues Before Closing

    We work with our Corporate & M&A, Investments & Capital Markets, Regulatory and Tax practices to identify compliance issues that may affect transactions and develop practical solutions before closing.

  7. Coordinating Compliance Across Jurisdictions

    Where businesses operate internationally, we help coordinate compliance obligations across jurisdictions and design frameworks capable of supporting growth without unnecessary operational burden.

  8. Our Objective — Systems That Withstand Scrutiny

    Our objective is to create compliance systems that protect the business, support informed decision-making and withstand scrutiny from regulators, investors and counterparties.
