Compliance

We regularly advise multinational groups on the implementation of compliance programmes across multiple jurisdictions in Europe and beyond, as well as providing any necessary supporting compliance audit and training services. To this end, we work closely with our colleagues from the CMS Compliance Group so that we can best advise clients on developing and implementing compliance programmes. We therefore offer up-to-date compliance training, as well as written guidance, for our clients’ legal teams, management and business employees (training the trainers). 

We also conduct audits wherever and whenever necessary and with the help of our own CMS Evidence team of forensic experts and market-leading software, Brainspace. Our widespread footprint and strong expertise allow us to conduct internal investigations on a national and international level within the necessary time limits, if necessary - even within days. 

By working with CMS, clients can be better prepared for potential dawn raids, comply with antitrust/competition laws and ultimately avoid, or in the worst case, reduce, fines. Our pioneering proprietary CMS Dawn Raid App provides first-hand advice in case of an emergency. Our exceptionally wide geographic footprint allows us to offer a one-stop-shop support by experienced competition experts for dawn raids (CMS Dawn Raid Network).
