Pavocat Chambers is a premier provider of comprehensive integrity and compliance solutions for businesses worldwide. Our barristers understand the pivotal role of integrity compliance programs (ICPs) and their profound impact on mitigating financial and reputational risks. As your trusted partner, we offer invaluable insights into effective compliance strategies that will fortify your organisation’s commitment to ethical governance.
Our barristers have decades of established experience in compliance (by way of example, Lee Marler was the Deputy Chief Compliance Officer for several years at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in London and, thereafter, the Director of Operations at the World Bank’s Integrity Vice Presidency (“INT”)). They are regularly instructed by companies and organisations to design, improve, implement and monitor ICPs as a means of mitigating their respective exposure to integrity risks:
Recent examples of this are the bespoke and proportionate ICPs which Lee Marler produced from scratch for companies wishing to expand their business operations into high-risk integrity jurisdictions such as Venezuela and Zimbabwe.
Our counsel not only produce and implement the ICPs on behalf of companies and organisations, but introduce and advocate their merits, as necessary, to regulators world-wide in order to further reduce the risk of subsequent investigation and prosecution.
Pavocat Chambers makes for a trusted partner in navigating the intricately complex legal issues that come to the fore during investigations into bribery and corruption. Knowing that prevention is ultimately the better policy, we create robust compliance frameworks, using strategies for effective anti-bribery compliance to safeguard organisations against financial and reputational risks.
“Lee is an outstanding compliance professional and anatural leader who consistently gets the best from the teams he leads, and delivers the best for his clients.”
