Taylor Wessing has further expanded its Corporate Crime & Compliance expertise with the arrival of Partner Charlotte Posthuma, Associate Leonie Hogenkamp and Associate Loes Joosten, with Charlotte leading this fast-growing practice. The all-female team will be integrated into the existing Disputes & Investigations team .
In our increasingly complex society, supervision and regulation, which every business has to deal with, play an increasing role. Charlotte and her team advise clients on compliance in a broad sense, supporting companies to meet all legal obligations and, in this context, also draft compliance programmes and train staff. Charlotte and her team provide expert assistance in the event of regulatory intervention, both in criminal investigations and penalty investigations, always with a focus on limiting reputational damage and minimising commercial impact for your business. Charlotte and her team focus on (anti)money laundering, corruption, forgery, environmental criminal law, industrial accidents and international sanctions imposed on governments (e.g. issues related business dealings in Russia or Iran).
Managing partner Netherlands & Belgium Marc van Gelder: We are extremely pleased with the arrival of Charlotte, Leonie and Loes. Charlotte will lead our Corporate Crime & Compliance practice in the Netherlands and will collaborate with our international experts in this area. She understands the complex issues within these areas, and her years of experience and discreet approach make her a valuable asset to Taylor Wessing. This will allow us to offer our clients not only additional legal support, but also the preventive measures required.
We are delighted to join Taylor Wessing and continue to grow together. With my enthusiastic, ambitious team, I am ready every day to achieve the best results for our clients. To continue doing so within Taylor Wessing's international, progressive environment feels like a logical step. We look forward to working closely with the specialists from the existing Taylor Wessing Disputes & Investigations team to further build our wonderful practice!” - Charlotte Posthuma | Partner.
