We are Counsellors at Law.

GCE Counsellors at Law is the only international boutique law firm who specializes in corporate white-collar crime, governance, compliance and investigations.

After years of successful collaboration with nationally based, highly specialized law firms and legal experts, we have evolved from a successful network to a one-of-a-kind, highly effective law firm.

We provide unique, client-oriented solutions based on our extensive global experience, world class transnational and extraterritorial competency and our consistent and dedicated focus on corporate clients.

Areas of Expertise

As the world’s only global compliance and investigations firm, we offer our clients the full spectrum of regulatory and criminal compliance competency – everywhere : GCE’s goal is our client’s non-liability.

Governance, Integrity and Compliance.

Specialized & Global.

The average non-compliance event incurs millions of USD in fines and penalties every year, along with reputational damage, business disruption, and revenue and productivity losses. Remaining compliant with international and locally binding legislation and regulations represents a massive challenge for global firms.​

It is in this context that it has become absolutely crucial for firms to implement efficient governance and compliance measures. We provide highly specialized consultancy avoiding the legal, financial or reputational risks faced by our clients. ​

  • Wide number of legal experts in 30+ nations.​
  • Broad reach and depth of experience make us particularly well placed to address corporate requirements in this field.​
  • Tailored to each company and their Board Members’ needs, while encouraging growth of the business.

Monitorships.

Highest Standards.

A weak compliance culture in a global firm opens the door to myriad risks, such as business disruption and illicit activities. Without a heightened awareness of potential threats and an effective structure that allows ethical aspects and legal requisites to be met, large-scale projects are particularly vulnerable to fraud and corruption.​

​

Independent Integrity Monitors oversee and evaluate activities of private and public legal entities, and evolve their processes and practices. This is particularly critical to observe the highest integrity standards, for public and stakeholder accountability, and firms’ consideration for future contracts and projects. GCE builds regulatory capacity and culture of accountability, through:​

​

  • Specialized training​
  • Adoption of practical integrity controls​
  • Compliance audits​

​

We also aid in detecting and resolving issues early, and assist entities to develop or rehabilitate while continuing to provide services to their own customers.​

Investigations.

Responsibility & Specialized Knowledge.

As corporations become increasingly globalized, their exposure to risks arising from individual misconduct by their employees will continue to grow. Depending on the acute needs of our clients, we either support or lead internal investigations for corporations and other law firms.​

​

Our highly experienced experts from nations all around the world have both the specialized knowledge and ​geographical advantage necessary for the effective execution of investigations – particularly when these involve different legal jurisdictions, cultures and languages.​

​

GCE also facilitates the responsible administration of compliance resources.​

White collar defense.

Experienced & Effective.

GCE represents globally active firms in circumstances involving both national and international regulators. Our goal is an efficient and discreet resolution in the interest of both the investigating authorities and our Client.​

​

The GCE White Collar Defense Practice Group (WCD) defends corporate clients and is composed of practising lawyers practicing across our international offices. They use first-hand knowledge of how government agencies and regulators conduct investigations and prosecutions to assist our clients in navigating these processes successfully:​

​

  • Legal and strategic advice for responding to developments both inside and outside the courtroom.​
  • Substantial experience operating in the public relations arena — essential to resolving the most serious and fast-moving white-collar legal challenges.​
