COMPLIANCE POLICIES & TRAINING

Create a Culture of Compliance

Following the rules, establishing accountability and generating buy-in are worth far more than you may think.

Each year, non-compliance costs businesses billions of dollars in reputation management, lost opportunities and civil and criminal sanctions, among other things. Don’t become part of the statistic. It is important to understand the relevant legal and regulatory landscape surrounding your business, and to develop written compliance policies that minimize your company’s exposure to potentially rocky terrain.

We’re skilled at helping create a culture of compliance, from developing written policies to assisting with implementation and training, all of which ensures you’re not blindsided by unforeseen compliance exposure.

Policies Don’t Matter if People Aren’t Trained

Legal Exposure

Failure to comply with relevant laws and regulations can lead to investigations, sanctions, claims and lawsuits.

Inconsistent Application

Without uniform policies and training in place, your employees may react to certain situations in an inconsistent manner, resulting in exposure to your business.

Business Interruption

Suppliers may withhold key supplies resulting in business interruption if your business fails to uphold your end of the contract provisions.

Understand the Legal Landscape

Develop and implement proactive strategies.

As a Preventive Law practice, we help to identify enterprise-wide compliance issues relevant to your business, develop written policies, educate key stakeholders to generate buy-in and then implement and train personnel on these policies.

  • We help manage your business’ compliance obligations and activities to ensure your company is operating appropriately, minimizing the likelihood of legal exposure and governmental investigation.
  • We help create a culture of compliance through comprehensive training in order to convey specific requirements, updates and best practices, generating buy-in for the initiatives along the way.
  • We help develop training modules and track attendance and performance, keeping accurate records to demonstrate robust implementation compliance initiatives.
