No good decisions can be made without accurate fact-gathering. Our specialist investigative lawyers assist corporate clients to conduct robust internal investigations into a range of potential misconduct, whether regulatory or criminal or both, helping to protect companies and their employees from an allegation becoming a crisis.
Becoming aware of potential regulatory or legal misconduct, including from a whistleblower, creates an immediate need for sound decision-making and governance, taking account of a range of legal and reputational risks.
Responding to the allegation quickly, while managing competing obligations of evidence gathering, reputational management, data protection, legal professional privilege and employment law are critical in order to ensure that you can strategize and make decisions effectively. We help you to assemble a multi-disciplinary team to investigate and respond to allegations with the appropriate sensitivity, urgency and while causing as little disruption as possible to your business.
Our team helps you to manage the aftermath of an internal investigation as well, including reporting to the board, advising on disclosures to regulators, dealing with any regulatory investigation that follows, revising or implementing remedial policies, procedures and training or acting for you in subsequent employment, civil or criminal litigation.
