Managing Internal Investigations in a post COVID-19 world – Caroline Day and Alun Milford write for Legal 500 Crisis Management Special

Caroline Day and Alun Milford, Partners in our Criminal Litigation team have written for the Legal 500 Crisis Management Special giving their thoughts on managing internal investigations in a post COVID-19 world.

Caroline and Alun ask the question what this will mean for internal investigations and look at the three main areas of documents, witnesses and law enforcement.
