Have clients/downstream business partners been subject to our investigations?
Due diligence in our law firm must not contribute to a negative effect on human rights and decent working conditions, which SANDS has a conscious consideration for in day-to-day operations.
This commitment is inter alia based on Rules for the code of ethics for lawyers’ item 1.4, which states the following: “A lawyer shall not provide advice that the lawyer understand or should understand would involve a breach of any person’s human rights or would involve a significant risk of this”.
