Cross-border compliance: towards the globalization of compliance systems

Managing or overseeing regulatory compliance across several countries at the same time often means dealing with local legal teams that do not coordinate with one another, different criteria in each jurisdiction, and a parent company without an overall view.

Our International Compliance Desk was created to bring order to this complexity. We advise organizations operating across multiple jurisdictions on the design, implementation, coordination and supervision of their compliance systems, turning cross-border regulatory complexity into practical, consistent decisions aligned with their corporate standards.

Who we serve

Who we serve

Spanish companies with international operations

Groups with subsidiaries, investments or interests abroad that need to maintain a consistent compliance strategy across all the jurisdictions in which they operate.

International organizations in Spain and the European Union

Organizations operating or planning to operate in Spain and the EU that need to integrate their corporate standards with local regulatory requirements.

Our model

Global direction, local execution

We combine a single legal and strategic direction with specialized local knowledge in each jurisdiction. Fortuny Legal leads, directs and coordinates the execution of compliance projects across the countries involved, working with local experts under our direction.

This allows us to avoid the fragmentation that comes with managing compliance systems independently in each country.

01

Single point of contact

A single point of contact for the entire project, regardless of the number of jurisdictions involved.

02

Common methodology

Fortuny Legal's methodology, applied consistently across all countries.

03

Harmonized criteria

Consistent standards that allow the parent company to maintain a global view and control of its risks.

04

Local experts under our direction

Knowledge of each jurisdiction, integrated into a project directed and coordinated by the firm.

A common “score”: a shared logic that integrates local, corporate and emerging risks.
