Lawyers for compliance

CMS’ compliance lawyers focus on prevention and crisis management. By developing effective compliance structures that are tailored to a company’s specific requirements, they help clients to avoid legal violations and minimise liability risk.

The CMS Compliance & Forensic Services unit brings together lawyers for compliance from every area of commercial law, ranging from customs matters to employment. Thanks to these broad skills, we are ideally placed to identify compliance risks fast and take effective countermeasures. You benefit from having a single contact who will track all the relevant compliance issues and guide you safely through the crisis. 

Our compliance lawyers work closely with specialists from other disciplines – defence lawyers, e-discovery providers, crisis PR consultants, auditors and commercial investigative agencies – whose main role is to help detect and resolve violations as part of an internal investigation.

Further down this page is a list with the contact details of our compliance lawyers. Feel free to contact us at any time.
