Compliance & money laundering
We advise on all aspects of compliance, in particular on data protection law, anti-corruption law, money laundering law and all proceedings against discrimination of any kind. For many corporations and companies, we provide the data protection officer (HdK Berlin), the ombudsperson or the confidential lawyer (see below).
Corporate Governance
In the area of corporate governance, we advise or have advised banks and insurance companies worldwide in particular on the appropriate structuring of their corporate governance regulations, e.g. Skandia Versicherung together with Old Mutual.
We are available to public and private institutions as whistleblowing recipients to combat corruption, e.g.
- the Senate of the City of Berlin until 2017 for the Berlin headquarters
- the Charité from 2024
- the Oberlin Association from 2024
- the Abraham Geiger-Kolleg from 2024
Legislators and owners determine the regulatory framework. The specific structure is the responsibility of the Supervisory Board or Board of Directors, the company management or the members.
The company-specific corporate governance system consists of all relevant requirements such as laws, guidelines, codes, declarations of intent, corporate mission statements and management and monitoring practices.
We advise
- insurance companies and banks operating internationally and in Germany
- Medium-sized companies
- Public authorities at state and federal level
on the establishment of corporate governance and compliance systems.

We provide you with comprehensive advice in the area of money laundering.
