OUR APPROACH

How We Conduct Internal Investigations

  1. What Can Trigger an Internal Investigation

    Internal investigations may arise from whistleblower reports, audit findings, regulatory inquiries, acquisition due diligence, shareholder concerns, employee complaints or suspected violations of law or company policy.

  2. Investigations Designed to Support Real Decisions

    We assist clients in designing and conducting investigations that are legally sound, commercially practical and capable of supporting decisions by boards and management.

  3. What Our Investigation Work Includes

    Our work includes investigation planning, preservation and review of documents and electronic data, witness interviews, factual analysis, privilege considerations, preparation of investigation reports and recommendations for remediation.

  4. The Range of Matters We Investigate

    We investigate matters involving fraud, corruption, conflicts of interest, misuse of company assets, financial irregularities, procurement concerns, sanctions issues, competition violations and other compliance risks.

  5. Designing the Investigation With Future Consequences in Mind

    The structure of an investigation must take into account potential future consequences. Where facts may lead to litigation, regulatory enforcement, criminal proceedings or shareholder disputes, we design the investigation process with those outcomes in mind.

  6. Why Investigations Matter to Investors and Boards

    For investors and boards, internal investigations can be critical before making decisions concerning management, financing, acquisitions, disclosures or engagement with authorities.

  7. Remediation After an Investigation

    We also advise on remediation following an investigation, including improvements to internal controls, compliance procedures, governance structures, contractual protections and reporting mechanisms.

  8. Coordinating a Consistent Global Approach

    Where investigations involve multiple jurisdictions, we coordinate local legal requirements, data protection considerations, privilege rules and reporting obligations to ensure a consistent global approach.
