Investigations

Comprehensive support for investigations

Investigations require a certain set of carefully honed skills. Diplomacy, engagement, acting methodically and with attention to detail with the ability to cut through the noise and engage with the appropriate stakeholders to get to the heart of the investigation.

We specialise in scoping and conducting thorough investigations; scoping and overseeing third-party investigators for clients; and also providing the necessary support to clients who face investigations and inquiries. Our team of specialist lawyers provide expert legal advice and manage every step, from planning, scoping and agreeing remit, to detailed reporting, presenting findings and offering follow-on lessons learned value add. We also support individuals under investigation, or those who are asked to attend reviews or inquiries, helping to best prepare, understand the process and participate to maximum effect.

Our specialists in regulatory work, corporate governance, data, equality, and technology solutions, cover all aspects of the investigation process. We can work independently or as part of multi-disciplinary teams, consistently delivering on time and within budget, ensuring that exemplary standards of confidentiality, discretionary and data handling compliance are maintained.

We collaborate effectively with in-house lawyers and personnel to meet investigation requirements and focus on delivering valuable insights and lessons from each investigation.
