Corporate Compliance

At Fieldfisher, we recognise the importance of Corporate Compliance, not only in ensuring business integrity and ethics and meeting legal requirements imposed on companies, but also in strengthening corporate governance and social responsibility. Our proactive approach allows us to identify and analyse potential risks (criminal, tax, competition, employment, etc.) associated with the company's activities, and to ensure that all operations are aligned with current legislation, existing international standards and best business ethics practices.

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.
