Corporate Risk & Compliance Services
The risks associated with the manner in which companies conduct their operations have never been greater. Not only is the judgement of market participants often both hard and immediate, but legislation in this area is also constantly evolving and the regulatory framework governing the activities of companies and financial institutions is becoming increasingly complex. In addition, regulatory authorities are demonstrating an increased willingness to penalise breaches and have greater powers at their disposal to do so.Environmental Law Regulatory Compliance Services
The Swedish environmental legislation is founded on the premise that companies will monitor and ensure compliance with the relevant statutory provisions governing their operations. It is thus important that any company conducting operations which may affect the environment regularly monitors what rules are applicable to its operations and how such rules are complied with.Vinge assists clients to identify the rules applicable to their operations and provides advice on how to ensure compliance therewith. We also provide assistance in relation to contacts with supervisory and licensing authorities, e.g. in connection with permit applications and alleged contraventions of existing permits.

Companies are under increasing pressure to conduct their operations in a manner which does not infringe human rights and international rights conferred on employees. Up to now, it has primarily been the market itself which has punished companies which fail to comply with internationally recognised norms although the protection of human rights is now also playing a greater role as part of the regulatory framework.
