It also assists with administrative sanctioning, compliance policy drafting, and the design of internal compliance and crime prevention systems. The compliance team’s expertise further comprises antitrust, labour, environmental and corporate law-related compliance issues; and it can draw upon the firm’s sector expertise in energy, food, TMT, insurance and real estate.
