Investigation and compliance

Increased focus on sustainability and social responsibility means that society expects companies to act according to the UN's sustainability goals and the Transparency Act. Therefore, both public and private companies must have established systems to prevent and uncover poor working conditions. Our lawyers can provide companies with tailor-made assistance and advice, in addition to helping establish procedures that reduce risk.

If you suspect undesirable bevaviour, you must deal with it in an orderly and goal-oriented manner. Missing or failing systems can lead to loss of reputation, loss of responsibility, or corporate penalties.
