An ‘incredibly knowledgeable’ team, Clifford Chance routinely advises on compliance programmes, audits, risk management, and internal investigations, including misconduct investigations at the board level. The firm’s compliance expertise includes anti-trust, anti-money laundering, and sanctions regulations at national and international levels. Antonio Golino, who advises both listed and non-listed companies on regulatory investigations, leads the team. Stella Magistro covers anti-bribery and ESG compliance, and in June 2025, Giuseppe Principato, an adviser on anti-corruption and environmental regulations, was promoted to partner.
