Organic Law 5/2010, of June 22 introduced into our legal system the criminal liability of legal entities, fruit of both the incessant process of international harmonization of Criminal law as well as the need to provide an effective response to the advance of corporate crime, fundamentally within the framework of the economic crime.

This profound reform within the criminal order brings us closer to the prevailing international legislative framework, which is none other than the establishment of criminal risk prevention models within the company. It is not just about the implementation of a program of Compliance that mitigates or even exempts from criminal liability those companies that can prove that they have implemented an effective criminal risk prevention model, but also, from Medina Cuadros We believe that these compliance models generate advantages for the business organization, since they avoid reputational risks and certain behavioral patterns are established among workers that result in good corporate governance.

The team of Corporate Compliance of Medina Cuadros It is composed of lawyers with extensive experience in economic criminal law, as for expert consultants in the implementation of business management modelsWe understand that the combination of these professionals is ideal for the development of a criminal risk prevention plan.
