Comprehensive criminal Compliance service

At Ayuela Jiménez, we offer complete and ongoing legal advice on criminal Compliance. Our services include outsourcing and managing whistleblowing channels, training employees and executives, conducting internal investigations, implementing remediation measures, and representing entities in criminal proceedings.

Protection against internal offences

Common offences within organisations include money laundering, tax evasion, fraud, influence peddling, criminal insolvency, and embezzlement. Additionally, crimes against data security, social security, intellectual property, and public revenue can also occur. These offences can have severe financial and reputational repercussions that threaten the stability of a business.

Without an adequate programme, the legal entity may be held criminally liable and face sanctions such as hefty fines, loss of tax incentives and subsidies, closure of premises, suspension of activities, or even dissolution of the entity. It is crucial to implement a robust and customised Compliance programme to minimise legal risks and protect the organisation.
