Compliance

Violations of (material) provisions in the law can have severe consequences for the company, the management or also the individual employee: claims for damages, imprisonment and fines and harm to reputation.

We support our clients in minimizing or avoiding the risks of liability in business by way of a compliance system which is customized to their needs. We have special expertise in close cooperation with specialized colleagues in areas where there are typically high compliance requirements, such as foreign trade and customs law, construction law and public procurement law, IT and data protection or antitrust law. Our attorneys in the field of white collar crime are also extremely well versed in working with investigative and criminal prosecution authorities.
