Compliance and Internal Investigations
Corporate ethics and integrity are crucial in today’s business world. Companies demand strong governance, risk, and compliance frameworks to navigate the ever-changing regulatory landscape. An effective compliance program not only addresses incidents but also prevents and anticipates risks.
Our firm, with over 25 years of corporate law experience, helps companies evaluate their integrity maturity, map risks, and structure governance programs tailored to their size and needs. We also provide preventive training and support internal investigations to identify and assess legal or regulatory breaches.
Our team conducts preventive training, providing a multidisciplinary view on integrity, labor, and related issues. We also support clients in internal investigations to identify and assess legal or regulatory violations.
Our services include:
We design integrity and risk management programs by mapping risks, creating or reviewing Codes of Ethics, and establishing anti-corruption policies and procedures. We prevent conflicts of interest, conduct background checks, and provide PLD/FTP (Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism) training. These mechanisms align with the company’s strategy to tackle ethical and legal challenges.
We develop controls and routines for managing supplier risk, both pre and post-contract, categorizing suppliers by risk and their impact on business operations.
We handle the receipt and legal analysis of complaints, ensuring anonymity, impartiality, and confidentiality. We assist in internal and corporate investigations, including governmental probes, using forensic technology when needed. We also help negotiate collaboration, leniency, or non-prosecution agreements.
We guide clients through the preparation and submission stages for certifications or seals, such as the Pró-Ética Seal, Mais Integridade Seal, and Infra + Integridade Seal, and help obtain Anti-Bribery and Integrated Compliance Management System certifications (ISO 37301 and ISO 37001).
We represent clients in judicial and administrative proceedings related to anti-corruption and antitrust laws, working with the Office of the Comptroller General (CGU) and other entities. We negotiate leniency agreements, non-prosecution agreements, or conduct adjustment terms (TAC) and similar agreements.
