With you through the entire process

Businesses and organisations operate in a complex regulatory landscape, under scrutiny from regulators, shareholders, employees, customers and other stakeholders. Our team of corporate investigations lawyers will help you manage and respond to investigations into all forms of corporate misconduct by your employees, suppliers, agents or intermediaries.

We undertake internal investigations commissioned by our client or prompted by regulators and law enforcement agencies and can help you navigate the investigative and reporting process while minimising the associated commercial, legal, and reputational risks.

We can operate independently, or on an advisory basis to help you understand what has happened, how to respond and what remedies might be available. We can also help with the training and upskilling of your senior leadership to help learn lessons and improve corporate governance. Whatever support you need, we'll be by your side throughout the entire process.

Global investigations

We're an international law firm with offices spanning the UK, France, Germany, the Middle East, Asia and North America. This allows us to support you through any cross-border issues or investigations you require support with.
