General info

Compliance is no longer a catchphrase but an essential element of any company’s operations. Our experienced team, which includes EU and US lawyers, helps to navigate through all applicable rules and develop the most efficient solutions. In cases where a company suspects or has already found itself in trouble, we help to carry out in-depth investigations and provide remedies that would mitigate any negative consequences to the maximum extent.

Whether it is pre- or post-acquisition compliance due diligence, internal or regulatory investigation, employee disciplinary/internal procedure matters, responding to the authorities or follow-up enforcement action – our team is on board.

As part of our services in compliance we cover the following areas:

  • Anti-Corruption and Fraud
  • Anti-Money Laundering, KYC and Sanctions
  • Corporate and Labour
  • Data Protection and Data Retention
  • Environmental Protection; and
  • Industry Regulations for Goods and Services

Our clients in this area include Fortune 500 companies and their directors and officers, international companies doing business in Ukraine, as well as Ukrainian industry leaders.
