Risk & Investigations Service

Fraud, corruption, tax evasion and money laundering are issues high on the public, political and enforcement agendas around the world. Regulatory and trade
bodies’ more stringent restrictions and transparency requirements aimed at curbing corporate crime, together with improvements in corporate internal controls, have led to better internal reporting of concerns. This can generate a new series of challenges in terms of appropriate analysis and investigation of reported issues, and the institution of required disciplinary or other measures to ensure that the right lessons are learned.

From the set-up of appropriate governance controls and aligning finance and risk functions, to revising data collection procedures and developing robust crisis management plans, it is clear that the historical approach to dealing with governance, risk, compliance and investigations is no longer adequate. Given the potentially far-reaching criminal and financial implications, you need a legal team that will not only handle your most sensitive and critical affairs, but can appraise risks based on years of experience with the issues specific to your sector, consider all the commercial and reputational concerns requiring protection
and navigate local legal requirements.
