Compliance
We assist business clients in building, reviewing, implementing and maintaining internal rules and mechanisms for regulatory compliance. We provide legal support both in the initial structuring of the internal framework and in its subsequent updating, practical application and ongoing control, so that the client’s operations are organised in accordance with the law, the nature of the business and the specific risk profile.
We provide assistance on matters related to personal data protection and compliance with the requirements of European and national legislation. We prepare preliminary analyses, internal rules, policies, notices, declarations, contractual clauses and other documents related to the processing of personal data. We assist in reviewing the processes for collecting, using, storing and protecting personal data, in determining the roles of the participants in processing, and in taking measures to bring the client’s activities into compliance with the applicable requirements.
We advise on matters related to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing measures, including the obligations of obliged entities under the relevant legislation. We assist in drafting and updating internal rules, procedures, risk assessments, internal control mechanisms and other documents necessary for compliance with legal requirements. We also provide support in applying customer due diligence measures, identifying beneficial owners, retaining information and organising internal processes for lawful operation.
We assist in building and reviewing internal procedures for the identification, verification and classification of clients, counterparties and beneficial owners. We advise on matters related to the collection and verification of information, risk assessment, periodic review and ongoing monitoring of relationships with clients and partners. The aim is for internal processes to be workable in practice, proportionate to the business and aligned with the applicable legal framework.
We provide assistance in establishing and implementing internal channels and procedures for the submission, receipt, review and follow-up of reports concerning violations. We prepare the necessary internal rules, notices, templates and procedures related to the protection of reporting persons and the handling of the information received. We also advise on internal organisation, deadlines, responsible persons and the application of the requirements related to reporting and internal investigations.
We draft, review and update internal rules, policies, procedures, registers, declarations, notices, instructions and other documents related to the client’s internal regulatory framework. We assist in building documentation that reflects the organisation’s actual activities, the allocation of responsibilities and the applicable process for meeting legal requirements. Where necessary, we adapt the documentation to the specific sector, internal structure and level of regulatory risk.
We provide assistance not only in preparing documents, but also in implementing them in the client’s day-to-day activities. We support the introduction of internal mechanisms for applying and monitoring the rules, the delivery of training for employees and management, as well as the subsequent updating of the internal framework when legislation changes or the client’s business evolves. The goal is for the compliance system to be genuinely effective rather than merely formal.
Where necessary, we also provide ongoing external support on matters related to regulatory compliance, including assistance as an external data protection expert, adviser in the application of internal rules and contact point in the event of practical questions, inspections, reports or incidents. We assist in reviewing and updating existing internal systems, where there are concerns about non-compliance and where timely legal action is needed in relation to a specific regulatory issue.
