Regulatory & Compliance
Satisfy the regulator without paralyzing the business.
You want to operate in a regulated sector in Albania — licensed, compliant, and free to get on with the business. We obtain the authorizations, build AML and compliance frameworks your team can actually run, and stand beside you when the regulator has questions.
The aim is not compliance for its own sake but compliance that protects the business without slowing it down. We translate obligations into controls your team can actually run, and we stand alongside you when a regulator asks questions.
What we advise on.
Licensing & authorizations
We identify the permissions your activity requires and manage the application, from documentation to dialogue with the regulator. A licence secured cleanly is one that is not put at risk later.
Sector regulation
We advise on the specific rules of your industry and how they apply to your model. General compliance advice is of little use; sector-specific advice is what prevents problems.
AML frameworks
We build client due-diligence, monitoring, and reporting frameworks that meet the anti-money-laundering law and withstand inspection. For regulated businesses, AML failures are among the most costly.
Competition & consumer
We advise on competition and consumer-protection obligations, from agreements and pricing to terms and marketing. These rules reach further into ordinary business than most companies expect.
Policies & training
We prepare internal policies and train your people, so that compliance lives in behaviour and not just in a binder. A policy nobody follows is a liability, not a defence.
Investigations
We advise and represent you when a regulator opens an inquiry, managing information, exposure, and outcome. How the first response is handled often shapes the whole matter.
How we work with you.
We start from how your business actually works and design compliance around it, so the controls are used rather than circumvented. Where regulation intersects with tax, our colleagues advise in step.
A senior lawyer leads and brings in the right sector specialist, giving you expert depth and seamless coordination. You get a framework that satisfies the regulator and lets the business get on with its work.
You are entering a regulated activity or applying for a licence.
You need an AML or compliance framework that will withstand scrutiny.
A regulator has asked questions and you need a considered response.
Anti-money-laundering obligations arise under Law No. 9917/2008 "On the Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism"; competition is governed by Law No. 9121/2003 and enforced by the Competition Authority; consumer protection by Law No. 9902/2008. Licensing engages the relevant sector regulator alongside registration with the National Business Center, and we advise on the full set that applies to your activity.
