In today's business climate of increased regulation, oversight, and enforcement, most companies are aware of the need – and, more and more frequently, the requirement – to design and implement an effective compliance and ethics program. ALA has extensive experience in assessing our clients' particular risks within their industry or field, and then designing and helping to implement comprehensive, enterprise-wide compliance programs. We also regularly counsel our clients on specific compliance and risk issues and work with those companies to find appropriate near-term responses and long-term strategies for reducing potential legal exposure.

Our Compliance Services team members work collaboratively with other attorneys in the firm who have specific industry or practice area focus and knowledge to advise our clients about the evolving regulatory and enforcement landscapes for their businesses, so that they can ensure their compliance efforts are effective, and their companies are protected.

Our goal is to work with you to create and implement an effective compliance and ethics program structure that meets your legal obligations, educates your workforce, allows your management to better understand and avoid potential regulatory and enforcement risks, and provides a mechanism through which to respond to regulatory and compliance issues.

And, when those issues do arise, whether through internal reporting mechanisms, by means of a government inquiry or investigation, a civil False Claims Act matter, or other legal action, we assist our clients in conducting internal investigations and responding to government investigations, in a manner that best protects the organization and its assets. Our team helps clients navigate unforeseen disclosure obligations and minimize exposure to increase regulatory and enforcement penalties.
