Ethics & Compliance

Proactive measures are essential to understanding and addressing the risks associated with ethics and compliance. Startups, established companies and organizations of all types—especially in highly regulated industries—are under increasing pressure from investors, regulators and customers to maintain a strong culture of compliance. That’s where Brownstein can help.

With an experienced team that includes former corporate compliance officers, in-house counsel at regulatory agencies and federal and state prosecutors, we assist clients in designing and implementing ethics-based compliance programs addressing a broad range of risks. Our attorneys offer trusted counsel on policy development, ensure adherence to laws and regulations domestically—at both federal and state levels—and internationally, support crisis communications, and represent clients in enforcement proceedings. Our team also conducts risk assessments, internal reviews and investigations of misconduct as well as routinely provides trainings on relevant issues for employees, c-suite executives and public company boards of directors. Our goal is to help clients assess and mitigate risks in a way that increases efficiency and profitability while ensuring legal compliance and reputational integrity.
