Compliance & Internal Investigations

Identify and minimize risks, organize compliance.

Efficient prevention is crucial for effective compliance - and an efficient internal compliance organization is of increasing importance for the assessment of sanctions for legal violations.

Our internationally recognized and award-winning Compliance Group, which has been nominated for several times, comprises experts who are leaders in their respective practice areas: antitrust law, export control and sanctions, money laundering, anti-corruption, corporate governance, employment law and data protection. With many years of tried and tested cooperation, our advice covers all relevant topics.

We provide comprehensive support to national and international companies in the strategic analysis, design and monitoring of extensive compliance programs. In international matters, we collaborate with leading law firms throughout the world.

Internal Investigations

In the event of irregularities or violations, we help companies to clarify the facts through an internal investigation.

We additionally support affected parties in the external regulatory or criminal proceedings that often run parallel to such investigations, in the defence against damage claims and in the examination, defence against or enforcement of liability claims. Further focuses of our advice are

• development of amnesty programmes
• advice and representation in voluntary disclosure, leniency proceedings and the like
• advice before and during an official investigation, search and seizure (dawn raids)
• implementation of labour law sanctions such as extraordinary dismissals based on fact or suspicion, conclusion of termination agreements with amnesty provisions
• communication with employee representatives and stakeholders
• advice on internal and external communication when dealing with discovered compliance violations (reputation management)

To ensure we provide our clients with the best possible support, we cooperate with renowned defence lawyers, providers of IT forensic tools and experts in crisis communication on a case-by-case basis.
