BUSINESS ETHICS

Business ethics and anti-corruption regulation and enforcement are at the forefront of the issues facing all businesses today. Standards have changed significantly in recent years. An ethical failure could result in significant civil and criminal sanctions for businesses, and even imprisonment for individuals. Our business ethics and anti-corruption practice helps clients to navigate national and international anti-corruption, regulatory and compliance issues and investigations wherever they arise.

We advise corporates, financial institutions and senior executives extensively on the implications of international business ethics and anti-corruption best practice standards, wider developments in the legislative and corporate landscape, and in relation to internal and government-led investigations. A particular focus of our advice has been on the concept of adequate procedures and the broader issues of risk management and compliance.
