Legislative Decree 231/01 introduced the principle of corporate liability for certain criminal offences committed in the interest or to the advantage of a company. The so-called Model 231 is an organizational document that sets out a series of internal procedures and controls designed to prevent the commission of such offences during the company’s operations.

By adopting a compliant Model 231, companies can not only minimize the risk of unlawful conduct, but also benefit from a significant limitation of liability and potential sanctions.

Our team also supports clients in providing training, establishing oversight bodies, and regularly updating the model to ensure ongoing effectiveness and alignment with legal developments, thereby helping companies to safeguard their reputation and avoid the severe consequences associated with non-compliance.
