The regulatory requirements imposed on companies are becoming increasingly complex and the relevant authorities are now taking a much harder line on enforcing strict compliance with rules and regulations. CERHA HEMPEL’s Compliance & Internal Investigations Practice Group provides support to companies and their corporate bodies in both Austria and CEE with a view to minimizing the risk they face from compliance violations by implementing compliance management systems or, where compliance violations have already been committed, by dealing with such situations in the best possible way.

CERHA HEMPEL is one of the leading law firms in the field of Compliance & Internal Investigations. Our compliance experts have many years' experience advising Austrian and international clients in connection with planning and implementing tailor-made compliance programmes, supporting companies during dawn raids and conducting necessary internal investigations. At the same time, as proven experts in our field we cover the most relevant areas of substantive law (antitrust, criminal law, data protection law and capital market compliance) and coordinate the work undertaken by attorneys specialised in other areas of law within our firm.

Our CEE presence allows us to be a one-stop shop when providing support to our international clients.

The outstanding expertise of our legal practitioners in the relevant fields is confirmed time and again by our inclusion in international law firm rankings (Chambers & Partners, Legal 500, JUVE, Global Competition Review).
