Regulatory investigations & enforcement

Starting Area/Sector information

We conduct and manage complex investigations and disclosure exercises across multiple jurisdictions. We proactively assist clients by providing a seamless global service tailored to the cross-border business operations of our clients. For major cross-border investigations we provide central coordination and project management.

Our global team is skilled in the conduct of interviews, document search and analysis.  Our lawyers are supported by our in-house forensic accountants.  We can draw upon the firm's knowledge of the substantive laws and regulations relevant to global corporates and financial institutions.  We can provide expertise on different industry sectors, as we are also familiar with the legal issues that will arise in the context of investigations, such as in areas of employment law and data protection.

We have the experience to advise clients on how to avoid the risk of intervention by governmental agencies and regulators, and to guide them through the difficult tactical and commercial decisions that they will face if investigations arise. 

Our experience includes investigations and disciplinary proceedings by the principal regulatory and criminal authorities in the US, the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
