Corporate investigations
If a regulator has implemented an investigation into your business – or you’re conducting your own for internal purposes – we’ll guide you through it.
We know that dealing with investigations can be daunting. However, our experienced team will help you manage the process and avoid the pitfalls. Many of our Corporate Investigations lawyers have worked at regulators, so know they how they operate.
From dawn raids to criminal prosecutions, internal fraud investigations to enquiries from financial regulators (such as Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong (SFC) and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)), finance to pharmaceuticals, they’ve probably seen it before. They’ve worked on cross-border corporate investigations across Europe, Asia, South America and the Russian Commonwealth, so their experience is truly global.
We'll work with you to scope out your investigation and avoid problems with legal privilege. We'll help you conduct employee interviews sensitively and interrogate electronic data to get the answers you need. You can also rely on us to deal with regulatory bodies and other third parties on your behalf.
Where we need to work alongside lawyers in other jurisdictions, we are part of the TerraLex network and have access to over 150 law firms in 100 jurisdictions across the globe.
