Compliance & Legal
Proactive Compliance and Legal Support for Expat Entrepreneurs in The Netherlands
The modern regulatory landscape is fast-changing and unforgiving.
For Dutch SMEs, the risk of missing a new law, failing an audit, or stumbling into a contract dispute is real and the consequences can be severe.
WIGEPA BV delivers Compliance & Legal services under the XTROVERSO™ operating model, helping you move from reactive problem-solving to proactive, structured control.
Francesco Cattaneo
Head of Legal & Compliance
Francesco Cattaneo is a qualified Italian lawyer with a Laurea in Law from the University of Florence and full Italian Bar certification (Esame di Stato). He began his career at Studio Legale Saverio Bartoli, advising on civil litigation, wealth planning, and trust law before transitioning into international compliance roles.
He later served as Legal Project Manager at Justlex, GDPR Consultant at DPO Consultancy, and Project & Compliance Manager at Tribal Agency, gaining hands-on experience across privacy law, AI regulation, and digital risk in Italy, the UK, and the Netherlands.
A graduate of Tilburg University’s Master in Law & Technology and CIPP/E-certified, Francesco combines legal depth with strategic clarity.
At XTROVERSO™, he ensures that compliance is not a constraint, but a catalyst for governance, trust, and sustainable innovation.
Legal Support for Every Stage
- Corporate Law: Company formation, restructuring, mergers, and shareholder agreements
- Contract Management: Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial agreements, NDAs, and partnership deals
- Dispute Resolution: Pre-litigation support, mediation, and management of legal incidents
- Ongoing Legal Updates: Regular scanning of Dutch and EU legal developments, with clear communication and actionable guidance
Why it matters:
Legal mistakes and unclear agreements can cost far more than just money, they can damage trust, stall growth, and attract regulatory scrutiny.
Compliance Programs That Work
- Sector-Specific Compliance: Custom systems for your industry, covering data privacy (GDPR), environmental rules, product standards, and more

- Continuous Monitoring: Ongoing review of compliance systems to keep you ahead of audits, certifications, and inspections
- Documentation & Evidence: Systematic collection and storage of all compliance evidence for easy audit-readiness
Why it matters:
Compliance isn’t just a tick-box, it’s proof of professionalism. When regulators or clients ask, you have the answers ready.
Regulatory Change Management

- Impact analysis and translation into actionable next steps for your team
- Support in implementing new requirements, from policies to operational controls
