- Compliance with sector regulations (banking, finance, energy, telecommunications, health, environment, etc.).
- Prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing (AML/CFT).
- Anti-corruption and business integrity policies.
- Permit and license management in regulated industries.
- Relationship with regulatory bodies and defense in administrative proceedings.
