Dealing with an investigation

Charity Investigations

We act for charities and charitable bodies in internal investigations into alleged wrongdoing and high profile public inquiries, while also assisting with the Charity Commission interventions and media advice which go hand in hand.

Criminal Investigations

Whether advising corporates or individuals caught up in criminal or regulatory investigations to conducting internal investigations for companies or advising individuals affected by internal investigations, we help our clients steer a course through the legal, regulatory and reputational challenges such situations present.

Internal Investigations

If you are facing a professional or business investigation involving fraud, corruption, a regulatory breach, serious wrongdoing or misconduct, the implications can be devastating.  Seeking specialist advice early and acting quickly can often make or break the outcome.

Financial Services Investigations

We are well known advisers to individuals and companies in the financial services industry who find themselves under the spotlight for regulatory or criminal matters, and can assist in FCA, tax, SFO/fraud and regulatory investigations.

Our clients have included senior management in banks, traders, hedge fund managers, brokerage houses, London branches of overseas institutions, wealth managers and administrators, mortgage brokers, investors and company advisers as well as IFAs, fintech companies, cryptocurrency providers, accountancy firms, insurers, FDs and CFOs within corporates amongst others.

Regulatory & Professional Investigations

The complex regulatory landscape has led to an upturn in their need for firms to access external advice on how best to respond when things go wrong. Our legal experts can advise both professional services and public sector organisations about their sector-specific obligations and the necessary ethical standards they must consider.

Sexual Misconduct Investigations

Allegations of sexual misconduct represent a serious reputational and business risk for organisations and can have lasting implications for the individuals involved.

We have a dedicated and specialist team which provides a unique combination of expertise and experience in this highly sensitive area. We have acted for high profile and multi-national clients, including private, public and charitable organisations and individuals at the top of their professions.
