Morais Leitão participates in global guide on Compliance

Morais Leitão recently participated in a digital interactive guide dedicated to compliance within the worldwide network of Lex Mundi law firms.

Lawyers Rui Patrício, Tiago Félix da Costa and Duarte Santana Lopes are responsible for the chapter dedicated to Portugal in a guide that includes specialised information on anti-corruption legislation in more than 75 jurisdictions around the world. The digital format allows to download information about a jurisdiction or to prepare interactive reports with comparison of multiple jurisdictions.

In recent years, the legal frameworks on anti-corruption and money laundering measures have undergone profound changes, requiring increased care by companies and institutions in the decision to invest or in the preparation of compliance programs with strong local variation. This guide offers a first look at the dedicated legislation, with chapters prepared by teams of reference in the area, allowing also the adequacy of the contents to the user's needs.

Since 2001, Morais Leitão is the exclusive member in Portugal of the Lex Mundi network, present in more than 100 countries and with more than 21,000 associated lawyers, frequently participating in its initiatives.
