Debevoise & Plimpton LLP litigation partner Andrew Levine served as editor of the seventh edition of Latin Lawyer’s “The Guide to Corporate Compliance.” In addition to writing the Guide’s “Introduction,” he and litigation counsel Erich Grosz contributed a chapter on “Assessing and mitigating compliance risks in the transactional context.”

As this Guide illustrates, compliance is a continuing process of assessing risks in a dynamic environment amid ever-increasing regulatory expectations, while crafting, implementing and refining strategies to mitigate these risks. Effective compliance programs require not only tailoring to applicable laws, but also continued vigilance and adaptation to emerging risks. Whether advising clients, managing investigations or designing compliance programmes, practitioners will find essential guidance on navigating risk and keeping pace with a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.
