Compliance and Internal Investigations
We will provide you with tailor-made concepts that allow you to take advantage of opportunities and minimise risks.
We will show you how to minimise risks
As globalisation progresses, the expectation of appropriate, transparent corporate governance is becoming increasingly important. Companies are faced with more and more complex legal requirements and stricter enforcement on the part of authorities.
Given this background, groups and individual companies require tailor-made concepts to minimise their risks.
Live up to your values – with us
Pool resources – implement concepts
Our interdisciplinary team of experienced lawyers and auditors offers companies and their management bodies comprehensive advice regarding all matters of compliance.
We will help you plan and develop a compliance concept specifically tailored for your business and implement this concept in your company using concrete measures and proper communication.
Ensure clarity – gain security
For internal investigations, we will support your company in reviewing the facts effectively and comprehensively and will conduct investigations as an independent investigator where needed.
In case of compliance violations, we will help you adopt the necessary and appropriate measures rapidly to safeguard the company's interests.
In this context, we rely on a well-coordinated team of experts for the relevant sector and the relevant areas of law for each case.
