Compliance and investigations

Our team assists clients with designing, developing and implementing compliance policies and programs. We conduct regulatory risk assessments, audits and investigations related to compliance practices. Our cross-practice team of compliance specialists can flexibly assist clients with preventing and handling cases involving alleged or suspected financial misconduct, breaches of data protection and privacy, cybersecurity incidents, securities markets and financial services related non-compliance, antitrust infringements, as well as workplace-related non-compliance, such as harassment and inappropriate behaviour. We also provide advice on governance-related matters and strategic advisory for managing conflict situations.

Our compliance team provides the first line of defence in various corporate crisis management situations as well as internal and external investigations, including related court proceedings. Our team members have broad experience in building effective strategic and procedural roadmaps to navigate such situations, devising internal and external communication strategies and managing interactions with the relevant authorities and enforcement agencies, such as pre-trial investigation authorities, the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority, national and EU competition authorities, tax authorities, the occupational safety and health authority, the Data Protection Ombudsman’s Office and the National Cyber Security Centre.
