Investigation
An investigation can be a daunting prospect, with the requirements of resource and time alongside the potential threats to reputation and even license to operate. We provide unrivalled strategic advice and maintain long-standing working relationships with the SFO, FCA and other foreign regulators, to achieve the best possible client outcomes.
Our practice includes experienced white-collar crime and regulatory defence lawyers, investigative lawyers, former regulators, and forensic accountants, all of whom have worked in one of the Big Four accountancy firms. All team members have strong and established working relationships, meaning our investigators have immediate access to some of the world’s leading trial lawyers.
Our team is at the forefront of applying cutting-edge technology to legal investigation and strict privilege and confidentiality is maintained over all our work papers and practices.
Our approach enables us to provide both rapid and in-depth investigative services relating to regulatory enquiries, suspected or actual fraud, attempted blackmail, divorce negotiations and crisis management. We also perform background checks on current or potential employees, directors, and trading partners on behalf of clients, as part of their corporate due diligence. Our aim is always to give clear and timely advice that equips our clients to act in a considered and strategic manner.
“Our strength lies in the unmatched strategic advice we provide from the get-go coupled with the way we embrace cutting-edge technology. This enables our clients to achieve the best possible outcome in their dealings with regulators.”
