BDO Legal offers compliance advice tailored to the respective business. Our specialists assist in professional risk analysis and the conception, implementation, and further development of a Compliance Management System (“CMS”), especially in the areas of anti-corruption/conflict of interest and antitrust law, but also for subjects such as export control and data protection law.
We advise banks, financial service providers, payment and securities service providers, and other regulated and unregulated market participants on a wide range of supervisory topics. This includes individual questions as well as complex transaction projects with a regulatory focus (including Regulatory Due Diligence).
Mass litigations and class actions pose a growing challenge for companies, with continually increasing risks. The large-scale assertion of similar claims, now championed by well-established consumer law firms and litigation-funding online platforms, has gained significant traction in recent years. This affects industries with a large customer base or those listed on the capital markets.
Crises often strike companies and their stakeholders unexpectedly. Additionally, the complexity of crises is constantly increasing, for example, due to heightened regulatory conditions and the growing globalization of supply chains. Therefore, crisis management requires a reliable and experienced partner. With our multidisciplinary team, we support you in preventing crises and in acting quickly and effectively in case of a crisis, regardless of whether you are affected as a corporate body, shareholder, creditor, or business partner.
