Risk & Compliance

Understanding, responding, predicting, and adapting to risks unlocks growth potential.
Understanding, implementing and complying with laws and regulations means improving reputation and market position.
We share our knowledge and experience with clients to build risk management tools that can respond to possible vulnerabilities, anticipate risks, identify and understand key regulatory issues that may affect their business sector.

Enterprise Crisis Management

A team of specialists in the business crisis and insolvency sector is able to support the company from a legal and financial standpoint, including the following activities:

  • mapping of company imbalances through economic, financial and equity analysis functional also to the implementation of the recovery process;
  • preparation of recovery plans, including the identification of the causes of the crisis, the identification of the industrial corrective measures to be adopted to achieve company equilibrium and the consequent financial manoeuvre for debt restructuring;
  • identification of the most suitable crisis recovery tools (such as the certified recovery plan, the debt restructuring agreements; the court-approved recovery plan and the composition with creditors);
  • preparation of the documentation necessary for the request for a tax and/or social security settlement;
  • possible forced extension of the effects of the agreement in the event of dissent by the financial administration (so-called tax cram down), and discussion with the officials of the competent departments for the relevant discussion and approval;
  • drafting of the documentation necessary for the appointment of the expert for the negotiated settlement of the crisis and assistance in the negotiation process with the interested parties;
  • negotiation of debt restructuring with creditors and possible investors.

We also provide legal assistance in insolvency proceedings (e.g., curators of receiverships, the bodies of companies in composition) or companies in negotiated composition, including investment operation, distressed M&A, arrangements and litigation.

Corporate Compliance

In a constantly evolving regulatory context, being able to respond promptly to new regulatory requirements offers important competitive opportunities for growth.

Managing compliance in an integrated manner means shifting the emphasis from compliance with rules and regulations to that of value creation, also representing an opportunity to improve the internal control system and consequently manage business risks more effectively.

Areas of Activity

Mapping of relevant risks and controls, design and implementation of processes consistent with the company dynamics aimed at responding to the regulatory requirements posed by, inter alia:

  • Responsibility pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001: Codes of Ethics, Organisational Models 231;
  • Anti-money laundering regulations pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2007;
  • Privacy and Data Protection;
  • Supporting the Supervisory Bodies in planning and carrying out monitoring activities pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001, as well as participating in the same as an external member or President.

Cybersecurity

Cybercrime is increasingly widespread, it becomes imperative for companies to equip themselves with a cybersecurity strategy that is robust enough to repel the majority of attacks and that guarantees the ability to rapidly restore operations in the event of successful attacks.

Effective cybersecurity requires extensive intervention that includes not only application security, penetration testing and incident management, but also support for the creation of informed employee behaviour, analysis of risks arising from third parties and all the different other areas of potential vulnerability.

We work with clients to transform IT culture and integrate IT security into every aspect of the company’s life, identifying areas where the company creates value and analysing possible threats.
