Corporate Compliance and Ethics

Fostering a robust culture of integrity and risk avoidance

More often than not, compliance and ethics problems stem from employee behavioral issues. We partner with you to strategize how to eliminate the root causes of disruption and promote an enterprise-wide culture of ethical behavior. Drawing on decades of experience, we are adept at assessing risk and crafting practical programs and policies tailored to your workforce realities, governance needs, and business objectives. Our attorneys conduct in-depth risk assessments and evaluations of your current programs to ensure they are up-to-date and compliant with all relevant statutes and guidance, including the U.S. Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and the U.K. Bribery Act.

In addition to helping you avoid risk through a robust compliance program, we provide industry-leading training on the full spectrum of ethics and corporate compliance issues. Your values drive your business and shape your mission, and we help engage your employees at all levels of the organization to ensure that their conduct reflects these standards. Our innovative Littler Learning Group offers custom training – in-person, online, and on-demand – in a variety of compliance topics, including gender dynamics, harassment prevention, respect in the workplace, technology use, and data privacy and security. We use the latest technology and cutting-edge learning and engagement principles to deliver meaningful training that makes a lasting impact.

Creative thinking underpinned by decades of experience

Our accomplished attorneys have a finger on the pulse of workplace trends and regulatory direction, allowing you to eliminate problems before they begin. For example, as regulators ramp up scrutiny of third-party due diligence, we assist you in customizing policies and procedures to reduce potential exposure and prepare for regulatory scrutiny. And, as the world’s largest labor and employment law firm, we use our extensive sector-specific experience to offer strategic insights into the unique ethics and compliance challenges facing your industry – and how to overcome them.

In delivering best-in-class solutions, we put our innovation to work minimizing regulatory and administrative burden. Not only do our attorneys deliver exceptional, thoroughly vetted codes of ethics, they streamline the process for maximum efficiency and value.
