Corporate Defense - Compliance Team
In the event of a criminal allegation, we support companies throughout every stage of the criminal process. The level of specialization required today to defend a corporation and its executives or employees calls for the development of targeted strategies that reduce financial exposure and strengthen mechanisms for the prevention and detection of criminal conduct.
Criminal Compliance Programs
In addition to conventional defense strategies, we assist clients in designing and implementing criminal compliance programs. These frameworks are tailored to each company’s operational context, with protocols and procedures adapted accordingly. We also guide our clients through the program certification process, ensuring alignment with applicable standards and regulations.
Internal Investigations
When it is necessary to clarify events and protect the organization, our team conducts internal investigations which are critical in two main scenarios: first, to identify internal actors responsible for conduct detrimental to the company; and second, to support an effective defense in the face of ongoing or potential criminal proceedings.
