Sandra BIRTEL, Attorney-at-Law at the Luxembourg Bar, heads the Compliance department of the firm, which she has structured around a strong conviction: compliance should not be seen as a constraint, but rather as a strategic lever for regulated entities.
A law graduate from Aix-Marseille University (Institut Portalis), Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, and the Faculty of Law in Nice, Me Birtel is a recognized expert in compliance.
For many years, she has advised a wide range of clients — including banking, financial, corporate, crypto, and PSF actors, as well as smaller regulated entities — on the implementation of effective compliance frameworks, ethics programs, and anti-money laundering (AML) systems, always with a forward-looking and innovation-driven approach.
She is also President of LUTCOR, the Luxembourg Association for the Prevention of Corruption, Editor-in-Chief of the journal Culture Compliance, and author of two major reference books: Le Code de la Compliance and Le Code de la Prévention de la Corruption.
A regular speaker at French universities and private institutions, she teaches with passion on topics such as compliance, financial crime, and regulatory obligations.
She supports clients in particular with:
- Compliance & Business Ethics
- Banking and Financial Regulation
- Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CFT)
- Crypto-assets, Cybersecurity, and Regulated AI
- Governance, Risk Management & ESG Compliance
