In an era of unprecedented transparency, corporate integrity is no longer a soft value but a hard asset. A company’s reputation can be irrevocably damaged by a single ethical lapse or corruption scandal, leading to catastrophic financial losses, regulatory sanctions, and a complete erosion of stakeholder trust. Our firm helps businesses build a resilient ethical infrastructure that moves beyond mere compliance to foster a genuine culture of integrity. We guide you in developing robust programs that not only protect your company from legal jeopardy under Georgian law but also turn your unimpeachable reputation into a strategic advantage.
Our approach begins with creating bespoke ethics policies. A generic code of conduct is insufficient. We draft clear, practical policies covering critical areas like conflicts of interest, gifts and hospitality, and data privacy. Crucially, we advise on enforcement mechanisms, including employee training and communication strategies, to ensure these policies are living documents, not forgotten files. This embeds ethical decision-making into the fabric of your daily operations.
We provide critical assistance with ensuring strict compliance with anti-corruption laws, particularly Georgia’s Law on Facilitation of Prevention of Illicit Income Legalization (AML). For companies with international ties, we also ensure alignment with global standards like the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the UK Bribery Act. We help you implement practical measures such as third-party due diligence, risk assessments, and secure whistleblower channels. Should an issue arise, our firm is equipped to conduct highly confidential internal investigations, allowing your company to address problems internally, mitigate damage, and demonstrate to regulators that you have an effective system for self-policing.
