Compliance and Internal Investigations
Developing internal rules and policiesWe can advise on and draft internal rules and policies suitable for your business; we can carry out an independent health check of existing rules and policies, identify gaps and risk areas and articulate recommendations for improvements.
|
Compliance risk assessment and monitoringWe can carry out a compliance risk assessment for your business and advise on best practices for mitigating risks and monitoring compliance with your internal rules and policies.
|
Whistle-blowing and internal investigationsWe can advise you on the implementation of a system and processes to ensure that reports of misconduct are properly recorded and investigated in a fair and independent manner, and that appropriate steps are taken in substantiated cases. Many legal departments have limited specialist resources in this area. We can provide practical, business-focused advice to help your business comply with industry best practices.
|
Ad hoc support and advice on particular casesWe can advise and support you on individual cases from the initial receipt of the whistle-blower report all the way through to the closure of the investigation and implementation of any recommendations. In the event of an investigation by authorities or regulators, or if otherwise required, we can assist you in appointing a suitable law firm in the relevant jurisdiction and supervise that firm on your behalf so as to manage the investigation in a cost-effective manner.
