Prevention, compliance, and defense at every stage

At BMC we see the legal environment as a strategic lever for your business. Our legal department delivers a proactive service focused on preventing risks and resolving conflicts with maximum efficiency — from drafting commercial contracts to defending insolvency proceedings.

We cover all critical areas of business law: commercial law, criminal compliance, employment law, data protection, anti-money laundering (AML) and commercial debt recovery. Every solution is tailored to the specific characteristics of your sector and your business objectives.

Our team combines legal expertise with commercial acumen, enabling us to deliver practical, results-oriented legal advisory for businesses. We do not simply tell you what the law says; we show you how to use it to your advantage.

A legal practice built for growing businesses

Most business disputes do not arise in courtrooms — they arise in poorly drafted clauses, absent compliance programmes, defective board minutes or incomplete data protection protocols. Our model of corporate legal advisory places prevention ahead of resolution.

Services are therefore structured around four blocks: regulatory protection (compliance, AML/PBC, data protection), ordinary corporate activity (contracts, board acts, shareholders’ agreements), litigation (debt recovery, defence in proceedings) and exceptional situations (insolvency proceedings, second chance law, restructurings).

When to contact the legal team

We recommend contacting our practice for business legal advisory when:

• Your company exceeds 50 employees and needs to implement the mandatory whistleblower channel.
• You operate in a sector subject to AML obligations (real estate, luxury goods, professional services, jewellery, crypto assets).
• You are negotiating a significant commercial contract — international distribution, SaaS, joint venture, master agreement with a key account — and want a review before signing.
• You are considering a dismissal with risk of unfair dismissal finding, or collective bargaining for an ERE/ERTE.
• You face a legal claim, administrative request or an inspection from the AEPD.
• A supplier or customer has defaulted and you need to decide between a payment order, enforcement action, ordinary claim or mediation.
• Your activity is affected by the entry into force of NIS2, the AI Act or data protection reforms.
• You are in a situation of financial stress and are analysing pre-insolvency options or insolvency proceedings.
• As a self-employed person or private individual, you want to assess whether the Second Chance Law offers a route out of an over-indebtedness situation.

A no-commitment initial legal consultation is the first step to defining legal priorities, sizing risks and establishing the rhythm of ongoing advisory.
