Compliance PETERS Rechtsanwälte
Labour, antitrust and competition law, distribution and commercial law regulations, tax and company law as well as numerous European regulations form a tight framework for companies. In addition, there are internal rules that govern the actions of employees and management and focus on corporate values. Compliance creates a clear structure that is designed to ensure that all these legally relevant regulations are properly observed. This applies not only to corporations and large companies, which usually have their own compliance departments, but also to all German medium-sized companies. If an appropriate compliance management system is not in place, there is a risk of an unpleasant reversal of the burden of proof under civil law and personal liability of management and board members under civil and criminal law.
Compliance- DUE DILIGENCE
In the context of company acquisitions, compliance due diligence often focuses on the questions of whether the significant company-specific, legal and economic risks have been identified and whether appropriate information, training and control mechanisms have been established for this purpose. In addition, the focus is typically on areas such as purchase, sales, and accounting with regard to corruption, antitrust violations, fraud and embezzlement.
