Legal Compliance in labour, tax and criminal matters

Regulatory compliance is the need for a company to establish adequate procedures to ensure that both managers, employees and other related agents comply with current regulations. This requires identifying and classifying the legal risks they face and establishing mechanisms for prevention, management, control and reaction.

Regulatory compliance affects areas such as data protection, non-financial information, business secrets, criminal, labour, tax, accounting…, all of which are regulated by different laws and regulations.

Criminal Compliance

At RIBA-VIDAL Abogados we offer legal advice for the implementation of Crime Prevention Models in the business environment. For each one of our clients we design individually their Prevention Model, avoiding standard models and applying them to a generality of clients. We apply the experience gained over more than twenty years in the field of criminal litigation to help carry out a specific risk assessment, legally evaluating how the company’s activity can be impacted by attending to the legal content of each criminal type and how it is applied on a daily basis by our Courts.

At Riba Vidal we take care of:

1. Implementation

We implement all necessary measures to prevent the commission of crimes within the company.

2. Follow-up

At RIBA-VIDAL Abogados we not only implement the model, but we also offer the possibility of keeping track of the implemented model, proposing the necessary updates.

3. Advice

We keep in touch with the Compliance Officer and provide legal advice on specific aspects of the Model to improve it, combining his/her knowledge of the company with our day-to-day business advice and litigation.

4. Training

Part of the follow-up we offer includes ongoing training for both managers and employees on new legislation applicable to their fields of work, resolving any doubts that may arise and informing the company of the most relevant legislative developments.
