Investigations & Compliance

We support companies and the public administration in complex compliance situations, providing assistance from fact-finding to representation in related proceedings. In addition to conducting selective internal investigations, our services include integrated crisis management, including cross-border cases. We provide advice on all types of potential compliance incidents, e.g. relating to financial market law (e.g. AML, suitability, risk management, market conduct and guarantee of proper business conduct), competition law, sanctions law and commercial or administrative criminal law.
