The global regulatory landscape continues to shift as regulators pursue penalties, fines, and disgorgement orders. An increase in domestic enforcement is occurring simultaneously with international regulators expanding their focus on conduct beyond their borders.

How We Help
Respond to Allegations
StoneTurn works with clients and their counsel to respond to allegations raised through hotlines, whistleblowers, and regulatory inquiries to gather relevant facts and determine the extent of the issues raised. We deploy data analytics and forensic accounting teams to identify unusual transactions and conduct investigative research to confirm relationships among parties. We also unwind transactions and flows of funds through intricate structures or to shell organizations. This combination of skillsets and expertise provides clients with end-to-end investigative support to respond to a multitude of regulatory inquiries.
Investigate and Analyze
Our global teams investigate matters involving the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), False Claims Act (FCA), and U.K. Bribery Act, among others. We also have deep experience advising on global sanctions regulatory regimes, including the U.S. SEC, U.K. Serious Fraud Office, and the Financial Conduct Authority. StoneTurn’s depth and breadth of regulatory dispute expertise includes providing expert services to regulators, including the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. SEC, and several State Agencies and Attorneys General. Having worked extensively with both regulators and companies to investigate potential violations, our experts understand all facets of regulatory investigations and regularly assist companies in navigating their complexities.
Reporting and Self-Disclosure
StoneTurn’s experts analyze and explain complex concepts, prepare detailed analyses, and develop clear and concise findings, which are presented in independent reports and through testimony at depositions, trials, and before other triers of fact. We provide clients and their counsel with critical information vital to making informed decisions in complex legal and regulatory environments. Where self-reporting to regulators may be necessary, StoneTurn has earned the trust of prosecutors and regulators, and we frequently serve as testifying or consulting experts to federal and state regulatory and law enforcement agencies. StoneTurn empowers organizations to respond effectively to any type of potential allegation, mitigate risks, and foster a culture of integrity and compliance.
