Comprehensive investigative advice on a global footing
With award-winning global investigations teams in more than 40 countries, we provide focused support for cross-border investigations involving your organization. We combine our insights, experience and resources globally to advise on some of today’s most complex issues, including bribery and corruption, money laundering, antitrust and competition, cybercrime and sanctions breaches.
Our global investigations team focuses on mitigating business interruption, economic loss, and reputational damage.
Regulatory coordination and enforcement continue to grow, founded on increased public scrutiny, ESG mandates, cross-border and multilateral cooperation and information sharing, and pressure on governments to respond to allegations of misconduct. International prosecutions, criminal liability and severe penalties for non-compliance have set the stage for a more stringent and intrusive investigative environment.
We provide an effective response to regulatory intervention and raids, and advise on audit inquiries, bribery, corruption, fraud, money laundering, market abuse, tax evasion, product liability, labor and employment matters, sanctions, anti-competitive behavior, asset recovery, and cyber security issues.
