Certification highlights the firm’s commitment to compliance culture and corporate ethic.
Licks Attorneys has just been awarded ISO 37301 certification, an international standard recognizing organizations with solid, effective compliance management systems aligned with global best practices in corporate governance. Celebrated as a milestone in the firm's trajectory, the achievement underscores initiatives implemented since 2018.
“The ISO 37301 certification validates the core of Licks Attorneys: ethics and integrity as the bedrock of our work. This recognition formalizes our unwavering commitment to providing our clients and partners with highest level of security and transparency, mirroring the compliance culture we have upheld since day one,” says Otto Licks, the firm’s founding partner.
ISO 37301 establishes guidelines for developing, implementing, and continuously improving compliance systems across organizations of all sectors. The standard helps mitigate legal and reputational risks while fostering transparency, accountability, and stakeholder trust.
“Throughout the certification process, Licks Attorneys had no pending issues and required no adjustments, demonstrating that our compliance culture is deeply embedded in our daily operations,” explained Alexandre Dalmasso, the partner overseeing compliance. “We take pride in this achievement, which reflects our commitment to ethics and integrity.”

Key initiatives highlighted by the office include internal compliance training, regular policy review, and weekly meetings to assess documents, policies, and procedures.
“For us, how results are achieved matters as much as the results themselves,” Dalmasso emphasized, noting that Licks Attorneys aims to showcase its structured, practiced, and audited compliance system to the broader market.
“Compliance is a culture led by example – starting with leadership. With strong support from senior management, we ensure that every team member is aligned with the highest corporate governance standards, and this progress of continuous. This also does not mean that we have become comfortable: we are ever improving. We revise policies biennially and often exceed customers' expectations,” concludes Dalmasso.
The new certification complements the firm’s ISO 27001 recertification for information security, which ensures that organizations safeguard sensitive information, including customer data, confidential documents, and internal systems.
This latest achievement further solidifies Licks Attorneys credibility and enhances its reputation in both domestic and international markets.
