The Paris Compliance Team

Corporations are facing increasing compliance obligations under French law and European regulations.

Putting together an effective compliance programme involves the implementation of measures and procedures which successfully prevent unlawful or unethical behaviour through policies tailored to the company’s culture, internal organisation and operations.

Linklaters in Paris offers the complete set of skills and expertise to advise you on the development and implementation of effective compliance programmes, under legal privilege.

We have advised on a broad range of compliance matters, giving us unparalleled experience of the issues at stake. We have also concluded several partnerships with external consultants to support us in providing complete coverage of your compliance obligations.
