Ethics and Compliance

DTMV Avocats’ Business Law department has extended its expertise to Ethics and Compliance, covering Sapin II compliance, due diligence and international sanctions. With the support of its Litigation Department, headed by Magali Thorne, Lin Nin, Anne-Laure Istria and Emmanuelle Brunelle, DTMV avocats assists its clients with the legal, ethical and reputational challenges of compliance.

The firm assists legal entities and their directors in the prevention and management of their risks, in France and abroad, as part of the implementation of the compliance measures imposed by the Sapin II law, in CSR matters (French and European duty of care, extra-financial sustainability information, ecocide and related criminal offences) or as part of the application of international and, more particularly, European sanctions.

This expertise enables DTMV Avocats to assist its clients in :

  • carrying out a legal audit of compliance programmes, vigilance plans or sustainability reports (risk mapping, policies, procedures, tools and ethical charters or codes of conduct),
  • carrying out a risk analysis from the point of view of positive law, including European and international standards in this area,
  • introducing or reviewing the structure and content of delegations of authority,
  • developing remediation measures in close collaboration with them by building action plans and implementing monitoring procedures and compliance programme updates,
  • assisting them in managing contractual relations with their partners and in implementing third-party assessment procedures,
  • offering them training and awareness-raising on the challenges of ethics and compliance, and in particular the risks of CSR litigation,
  • defending their interests before the relevant authorities or courts (AFA inspections, criminal or administrative investigations, trial courts).

The firm’s lawyers assist major French and international groups, subsidiaries of multinationals as well as SMEs and VSEs that are directly or indirectly concerned.

The firm is active in a number of sectors, including shipping, oil, transport, pharmaceuticals, energy, finance, luxury goods and consumer products.
