We challenge traditional notions of corporate compliance and investigations by offering a client-centric, collaborative, and forward-thinking approach to legal services.
Companies today face increasingly complex ethics and compliance challenges, heightened scrutiny from global regulators, and significant demands from consumers, employees, and other stakeholders—all while balancing internal pressures for budget and resources.
We have handled matters worldwide in various industries, including life sciences, retail, food and beverage, manufacturing, defense, and technology. Having collectively worked for some of the world’s most elite global companies and law firms, and as prosecutors, we see value in offering our clients an alternative to the traditional law firm model.
We understand that compliance programs must be tailored to address each client’s business model, industry and geography – and the risks associated with each.
We invest time at the outset of each engagement to understand our clients’ business, brand, and culture. We help clients leverage their internal resources and enhance their existing compliance framework to resolve compliance challenges efficiently and effectively.
We Take the Right Approach to Investigations
When a problem is reported or suspected, we conduct a confidential and privileged investigation that is appropriate in scope and scale, and fee transparent.
We understand investigations can be time-consuming and disruptive to businesses and their professionals. Having represented companies and individuals and interviewed thousands of witnesses at all levels, we believe investigations should be thorough but mindful of the business context. Maintaining objectivity and treating all witnesses respectfully is paramount.
We help clients identify risks and implement appropriate remedial measures based on investigation outcomes.
We have helped organizations and individuals around the world address some of their most pressing compliance and investigations concerns. We view compliance and investigations challenges from multiple angles to provide our clients with effective and practical solutions.
