We design and implement compliance programs tailored to your company: anti-money laundering, ISO 37001 anti-bribery systems, criminal compliance and filings with the UAFE (Financial and Economic Analysis Unit). We are the only law firm in Ecuador certified under ISO 37001.
A compliance program isn't measured by what it says on paper, but by what it prevents when no one is watching. That's why we build it inside your company, with your people and your real risks.
We come to your facilities, interview key departments and review your processes. From there, we build a program your team understands, uses and can demonstrate to any authority.
Interviews and a review of processes and documents to understand how the company really operates.
We identify and prioritize money laundering, bribery, fraud and criminal liability risks.
We draft clear, workable policies: conduct, conflicts of interest, gifts, third parties and due diligence.
We set up a confidential hotline and its investigation protocol, so problems come to light in time.
We train the board, middle management and operational staff, using examples from your own industry.
We support your compliance officer with periodic reviews, key indicators and program updates.
Each program addresses your company's reality: your industry, your size, your regulators and your risks. These are the services our clients request most.
We design and implement the anti-money laundering and crime-financing prevention system your industry requires, with manuals, risk matrices and due diligence procedures.
We implement an anti-bribery management system based on the ISO 37001 standard, which we practice in our own firm, and prepare your company for certification.
We build the crime prevention model that allows your company to demonstrate due diligence against the corporate criminal liability set out in the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code (COIP).
We assist reporting entities with their registration, report filings and information requests from the Financial and Economic Analysis Unit.

We prepare policies, minutes, resolutions and supporting documentation, and we attend the board and shareholder meetings where they are approved.
We design training for every level of the company and implement confidential whistleblower hotlines with their investigation protocol.

It is the set of policies, controls, training and reporting channels a company puts in place to prevent, detect and respond to legal and ethical breaches such as bribery, money laundering or fraud.
Since corporate criminal liability was introduced into the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code (COIP), a company can be held criminally liable for offenses committed for its benefit. A well-implemented prevention program allows the company to demonstrate its due diligence.
The reporting entities designated by anti-money laundering regulations, based on their economic activity. We review whether your company is one, register it and support it with reports and information requests.
It is the international standard for anti-bribery management systems. It defines how an organization prevents, detects and responds to bribery. Fexlaw is certified under ISO 37001:2016 and helps companies implement it.
