Compliance and Regulatory

The regulatory landscape, which comprises laws, regulations, and guidelines that govern business operations, is constantly evolving. Navigating these changes requires a deep understanding of legal obligations as well as practical business realities.

 

Our Regulatory and Compliance team advises companies and in-house counsel across a wide range of industries and jurisdictions. We help clients identify regulatory restrictions and implement effective compliance strategies, including those that are specific to particular industries or transactions.

 

We provide legal and compliance support in key areas such as:

-          Corporate governance and company law

-          Data protection and privacy

-          Confidentiality and trade secrets

-          Permits and licensing (applications and ongoing compliance)

-          Employment and labour relations

-          Cybersecurity compliance

-          Anti-money laundering (AML), anti-bribery and corruption

-          Competition law and antitrust

 

Our services have included the drafting of robust contractual frameworks to ensure regulatory compliance in dealings with employees, vendors, and service providers; the conduct of internal legal due diligence to uncover and address any pre-existing non-compliance; the assessment and review of current practices and the preparation of compliance documentation, such as manuals, policies, SOPs, and internal contracts; and the provision of legal training to personnel to support a culture of compliance within the organization.

 

Members of the Regulatory and Compliance team are Ignatius Chua, who has specialized expertise in data protection and privacy, Marlon Wui, who has advised on Singapore and regional corporate compliance matters, and Pedro Jose Bernardo, who advises on cross-border anti-money laundering and sanctions matters.
