Compliance

Every company is unique – as an entity as well as in terms of the legal and business environment in which it operates. Recent years have brought a turn towards a heavier regulatory touch; business entities are required to comply with increasingly compendious rules, and face increasingly severe penalties if – even inadvertently – they don’t.

Timely reaction to legislative changes, relevant training for managerial and general staff, devising and implementing appropriate policies, and correctly responding if the competent regulators choose to take action – all this becomes very difficult without recourse to specialised knowledge.

GESSEL’s compliance practice assembles within a single team specialists from the various legal fields in which compliance issues are particularly important. By pooling our expertise within this single interdisciplinary group, we can offer modular, scalable and custom-built compliance solutions, complete with implementation of procedures, training for staff, and ad hoc support.

The members of our compliance team specialise in, respectively, competition law, employment law, personal data protection, securities markets, and public procurement; some of them bring to the table past experience at national regulators. In true GESSEL fashion, these core competencies can be readily augmented with the skills of other lawyers at our firm, as required by the case at hand.
