The reputational and financial consequences for businesses and individuals subject to criminal and regulatory scrutiny have never been more severe.

Criminal and regulatory

We have represented some of the world’s most prolific companies and Board-level executives in many of the last decade’s most significant and complex criminal and regulatory investigations, both in the UK and worldwide. Alstom, ENRC, Rio Tinto, and Rolls Royce are just a few recent examples of the investigations that we have been involved in.

Our legacy of work has fostered considerable credibility and respect with prosecuting authorities, both domestically and overseas. The benefit of this experience to you is that we have a comprehensive understanding of the objectives and priorities of those authorities from the outset. We can therefore help you identify and respond to potential issues at the earliest stage to avoid unnecessary action being taken.

Internal investigations

Internal investigations play a vital role in enabling companies, organisations and senior individuals to establish the facts and respond appropriately to an ever-increasing number of allegations of wrongdoing.

We work closely with our clients to ensure our investigations are approached in a proportionate and measured manner, taking into account all relevant considerations, including the credibility of allegations made, reputational and commercial risk, obligations to the market and time imperatives.
