Warner Norcross + Judd LLP Partner Madelaine Lane wrote an article for the Grand Rapids Business Journal titled “Preparation is key when it comes to corporate compliance.” As a criminal defense attorney, Lane provides counsel to clients who receive subpoena requests or inquiries into employee and regulatory matters.
Her consistent message to companies is to plan ahead and be proactive, not just reactive. The new year is an ideal time to review corporate compliance procedures, and she outlines in the article what steps to take to prepare for whatever lies ahead in 2023.
Lane and fellow Warner attorneys designed search warrant and subpoena product offerings to assist clients with these types of requests. Now more than ever, corporations are targeted by prosecutors seeking justice for misconduct. The U.S. Department of Justice has increased its focus, requesting $250 million from Congress to help combat corporate crime – signaling to companies that they are looking for accountability and will penalize offenders.
