Our Services

A progressive approach to law. A presence tailored to your challenges.

Compliance Audits & Risk Mapping

Know precisely where you stand.

ARCAN carries out a comprehensive diagnostic at the intersection of Monégasque law and European regulation. A factual assessment, a prioritised risk map, and a 90-day action plan. A deliverable that is yours to keep, whether or not you proceed further.

Corporate Audit Monaco

It covers the review of the articles of association, governance, powers and delegations, verification of compliance with Monégasque legal obligations, the control of registers, mandates and deadlines, and the consistency between the company's actual operations and its corporate documents.

Data Protection & European Compliance Audit

It covers GDPR and Monégasque Law No. 1.565 obligations: review of processing activities and records, legal bases, privacy notices and data subject rights, data processing agreements (DPAs), data security and breach management, as well as data transfers and cross-border flows.

AML/CFT Audit

It assesses the framework of professionals subject to Monégasque Law No. 1.362: risk classification, due diligence on clients and their beneficial owners, PEP and asset-freeze screening, reporting obligations to the AMSF, record-keeping and training.

AI Act Diagnostic

It identifies the artificial intelligence systems used or deployed, classifies them by risk level, and maps the transparency, governance and AI literacy obligations applicable to organisations whose activity or clients are located in France or the EU.

The scope and terms of each audit are defined during the initial scoping meeting. Diagnostics can be conducted separately or combined depending on your exposure.

Business Law & Targeted Interventions

Your situation is unique. So is our intervention.

When a situation calls for precise intervention, ARCAN acts on business law matters: drafting and negotiating contracts, corporate transactions, structuring, risk assessment and management, upstream dispute strategy. Each engagement is calibrated to your actual situation and set out in a signed engagement letter before work begins.

Areas of Practice

  • ◆Drafting, review and negotiation of commercial contracts
  • ◆International sale of goods and cross-border contracts (Vienna Convention, UNIDROIT Principles)
  • ◆European and Monégasque regulatory compliance (GDPR, Monégasque Law No. 1.565, AML/CFT, AI Act)
  • ◆Economic sanctions and counterparty risk assessment
  • ◆Commercial risk management (latent defects, non-conforming delivery, bad-faith termination of negotiations, unfair competition)
  • ◆Corporate law and Monégasque governance
  • ◆Cross-border transactions and establishment in Monaco
  • ◆Exceptional assets (prestige real estate and yachts)

The engagement begins with a 30-minute scoping meeting. ARCAN responds promptly with a formal proposal. A signed engagement letter defines the scope before work begins.

Dedicated Legal Counsel

A permanent legal reflex, by your side.

For executives with recurring needs, ARCAN offers a regular presence, functioning as an in-house legal department on a shared-time basis. You have a single point of contact who knows your file over time: contracts reviewed before signature, ongoing regulatory monitoring. Your documents, case history and the progress of each engagement are centralised in a secure portal, accessible at any time. Scope and availability are defined together, with no long-term commitment.
