Compliance

• Sapin Act II:  new obligations applicable immediately,
• A team of multi-disciplinary lawyers dedicated to compliance,
• Tailored processes for the compliance of mid-caps.

The new compliance obligations resulting notably from the Sapin Act II and the European GDPR regulation undeniably constitute additional constraints for companies.  2018 represents an important step.
Taking these new regulatory requirements into account requires implementing a complete, coordinated compliance program. 

Companies, regardless of their size, are now required to implement procedures that guarantee compliance with statutory provisions and prevent the risk of violations.  This now involves all of a company’s business sectors and operations:

• Employment law and human resources,
• Competition and commercial relationships,
• Relationships with public authorities,
• New technologies/personal data.

A BG2V dedicated team works in the following areas:

• Onsite assessment,
• Implementation of compliance programs, 
• Implementation of alert procedures,
• Drafting of good practices guides,
• Training programs for executives and employees,
• Monitoring and periodic review of compliance programs put into place,
• Permanent monitoring on our clients’ behalf.

Thanks to the firm’s internal organization and the synergy between its multidisciplinary specialists, BG2V is able to provide an adapted, pragmatic response to clients’ demands and long-term monitoring.

In addition to the implementation of a specific legal and technical monitoring system, the compliance team’s lawyers regularly take training classes to be informed of legal changes and to further develop their expertise.

They also organize internal focus groups to establish methodologies and processes for implementing compliance plans in order to be as effective and concrete as possible given the changes in this area and their clients’ needs in this field.To do so, internally they rely on in-company experience of a certain number of the firm’s lawyers who have solid experience, which provides them with a particular sensitivity to and understanding of clients’ needs.
