According to new legal frameworks established to strengthening control mechanisms, both public and private, we provide legal advice in the areas of business integrity including compliance, corporate ethics and anti-corruption to domestic and foreign companies.
The Anti-Corruption Law, which has been in force since 2014, obligated many companies to adapt their internal and external procedures to comply with the new control and transparency rules towards the public and private sphere.
Our practice covers all stages of the process. We advise in preventing, structuring and reviewing anti-corruption and integrity programs, investigating, training and monitoring compliance and ethical conduct standards, and, finally, representing the company in case of administrative and judicial defense before the regulatory bodies.
