Corporate Compliance & Corporate Crime Prevention
In addition to the obligations established under the Criminal Code, companies are increasingly aware of the importance of implementing corporate compliance programmes as part of good corporate governance, effective risk management and the protection of corporate reputation.
A well-designed legal and regulatory compliance system reduces the risk of sanctions, financial penalties and reputational damage, while showing that the organisation has taken all reasonable measures to prevent unlawful conduct.
A well-structured Corporate Compliance framework allows a company to anticipate risks, strengthen internal controls and ensure ongoing compliance with criminal, regulatory and corporate governance requirements.
Who do we advise?
Our Corporate Compliance and Regulatory Compliance lawyers at AGM Abogados advise companies of all sizes – from SMEs to large corporations – on the design, implementation and monitoring of compliance frameworks and corporate crime prevention systems.

What are our main Coprorate Compliance services for companies?
Ethical or whistleblowing channel
The implementation of an ethical or whistleblowing channel is an essential element of any effective compliance management system. It allows companies to identify, investigate and correct internal irregularities, and is crucial in the prevention and detection of corporate fraud.
Criminal risk analysis
We conduct a detailed legal risk assessment of each company, identifying the activities and processes in which criminal conduct is most likely to occur. Based on this analysis, we prepare a tailored criminal risk prevention plan.
The most common crimes that can be committed within an organisation are:
- Money laundering
- Tax evasion
- Fraud and scams.
- Corruption between individuals
- Influence peddling
- Criminal insolvency
- Misappropriation
- Crimes against data protection, social security, intellectual property, public finances, etc.

We design and implement Corporate Compliance and Criminal Prevention programmes that are fully adapted to each type of company, always in accordance with current legislation and aligned with best practices in corporate governance, risk management and regulatory compliance.
