Business Integrity

Business Integrity beinhaltet nicht nur die Einhaltung von Vorschriften und Regeln, sondern einen ganzheitlichen Ansatz einer sinnhaften, nachhaltigen Wirtschaftstätigkeit auf allen Ebenen des Unternehmens.

Compliance

Wir sind eine Full-Service Compliance Kanzlei: Von der Risikoanalyse über die Planung und Einführung von entsprechenden Compliance Programmen bis zur Aufdeckung und Untersuchung von Non-Compliance stehen wir Ihnen in allen Fragen zur Seite. Wir wissen aus der Praxis, worauf es ankommt. Unsere internationalen Ermittlungen haben unseren Blick für die Schlupflöcher und Fallstricke geschärft – dies kommt unserer präventiven Beratung zugute und macht unser Compliance Management noch effektiver. Wir haben einen ganzheitlichen Blick auf die Compliance im Unternehmen – integriert in alle Prozesse und Wirtschaftsbereiche, unbürokratisch und effizient. Wir arbeiten schon seit vielen Jahren mit Hinweisgebern und Meldesystemen für Hinweise auf Compliance-Verstöße.

Investigations

Jedes Unternehmen kann Opfer von Wirtschaftskriminalität werden. Selbst das beste Compliance Programm ist keine Garantie für die lückenlose Einhaltung der vereinbarten Unternehmens-Richtlinien und Regeln – allerdings werden Verstöße schneller aufgedeckt und größerer Schaden damit verhindert. Ohne interne Ermittlungen bliebe ein Compliance Programm ein zahnloser Tiger.

Wenn ein Unternehmen mit behördlichen Ermittlungsverfahren konfrontiert ist, kann dies die Mitarbeiter*innen und Geschäftspartner erheblich verunsichern und das Tagesgeschäft beeinträchtigen. Damit die Kosten für eine interne Ermittlung nicht durch die Decke schießen bieten wir ein effizientes, erfahrenes Projektmanagement mit transparenter, auf Wunsch tagesaktueller, Kostenkontrolle.

Exportkontrolle

Mandanten profitieren von unserer Expertise sowohl beim Aufbau und der Umsetzung von Exportkontroll-Compliance Programmen, in der Begleitung von Prüfungen durch die Zollbehörden und auch nach der Einleitung strafrechtlicher Ermittlungen oder im Bußgeldverfahren. Wir haben erfolgreich Genehmigungen im Bereich Investitionsprüfung beantragt und beraten zu allen damit zusammenhängenden Fragen.

Our excellence for your success.

Business Integrity

Business integrity concerns not only compliance with rules and regulations, but means a holistic approach to meaningful, sustainable business activity at all levels of the company.

Business Integrity

In our fast-changing economy and challenging pandemic times, integrity should be the basis of all business conduct. But in day-to-day business, especially when sales are declining or in countries with challenging legal environments, it is often difficult for managers and employees to align their business conduct with the highest ethical standards.

We support you in setting a clear tone from the top and in building a strong compliance culture. In difficult situations, we help you taking decisions you and your team can be proud of.

Compliance

We are a full-service compliance law firm: from risk analysis to planning and implementation of appropriate compliance programs to the detection and investigation of non-compliance, we are there to assist you in all matters. Our international investigations have sharpened our eye for loopholes and pitfalls - this benefits our preventive consulting and makes our compliance management even more effective. We have a holistic view of compliance in the company - integrated into all processes and business areas, unbureaucratic and efficient. We have been working for many years with whistleblowers and hotlines, investigating reports and misconduct.

Investigations

Any company can fall victim to white-collar crime. Even the best compliance program is no guarantee of complete adherence to the agreed corporate guidelines and rules – however, violations are detected more quickly and greater damage is thus prevented. Without internal investigations, a compliance program would remain a toothless tiger.

If a company is confronted with investigations by the authorities, this can cause considerable uncertainty among employees and business partners and have a negative impact on day-to-day business. To prevent exploding costs of an internal investigation, we offer efficient, experienced project management with transparent cost control, updated on a daily basis if desired.

Investigations

  • Internal investigations (crisis management e.g. during or after searches, criminal investigations against managers, employees or business partners, follow-up and clarification of indications of compliance violations, eDiscovery and document review, interviews with witnesses and defendants, advice on eliminating weaknesses in the compliance program).
  • Advising companies that have been victims of white-collar crime
  • Ombudsperson (reporting office for whistleblowers)

Export Control

Clients benefit from our expertise both in the establishment and implementation of export control compliance programs, in the accompaniment of audits by customs authorities and also after the initiation of criminal investigations or administrative proceedings. We have successfully applied for licenses in the area of foreign investment control and advise on all related issues.

Export Control

Export control regulations are complex. Companies that export must demonstrate export control compliance, for which the authorities have specific requirements. We recommend that our clients regularly adjust their program. We support our clients in monitoring country and individual sanctions.
