Increasing regulatory scrutiny. Whistleblower allegations on the rise. Heightened compliance expectations. Pressure on management to focus on the bottom line.
Corporate investigations are becoming more and more complex when it comes to gathering all relevant facts and managing any subsequent financial, legal and organizational implications.
Today’s in-house counsel, boards and audit committees and their advisers must respond to demands from various regulatory bodies, navigate cultural nuances and organizational processes, and anticipate the consequences of internal and external investigations and potential ensuing litigation.
