For the long-term success and sustainability of any business, good corporate governance is essential. At Fieldfisher, we help companies develop and strengthen their governance structures. We ensure that they are in line with regulatory expectations and international best practice. This includes advising on the creation of effective boards, the implementation of clear decision-making policies and rigorous management oversight. All of which are critical to transparency and accountability.
In addition, our vision of compliance includes a corporate responsibility dimension. We advocate the adoption of business practices that not only comply with the law, but also promote a positive impact on society and the environment. We advise companies on the integration of corporate social responsibility principles into their strategy and day-to-day operations, from ethical supply chain management to sustainability and employment ethics initiatives.
We design ethical codes and manuals that are aligned with a company's mission, vision and values. These are essential to establish rules and procedures that help prevent the possible commission of crimes within companies.
We create detailed policies, protocols and procedures tailored to the company's industry and business activities to mitigate criminal, tax, competition, employment, etc. risks, ensuring all aspects of the business are covered.
We have effective whistleblowing channels and internal investigation procedures. We manage and resolve incidents effectively and in accordance with the law.
We provide expert advice on the design and implementation of supervisory and control bodies, as well as ongoing legal support in resolving issues of all kinds.
We develop training plans and conduct face-to-face training sessions for managers and employees. This strengthens the culture of compliance within the company.
In the event of legal proceedings, we provide legal advice and representation to defend the company, its directors and officers.
