What makes us different to other firms?
Whether you need to design an effective compliance system which advances your business, rather than binding it up in bureaucracy, conduct an efficient and effective investigation, or quickly remediate misconduct to get back to ethical business operations, our Global Compliance and Investigations team is right where you are, with 205 locations across 81 countries.
Our team is where you are. We speak your language and understand your culture. Our investigative teams combine our sophisticated global experience with the on-the-ground familiarity of lawyers steeped in the local business community. We understand the nuances of the challenges that our clients are navigating, and we have extensive experience with regulators around the world—including the United States Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as regulators and prosecutors across Europe, Russia, the UK, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Plus, because we don’t have to parachute a team in or rely on translators, we can do this work faster, with deeper insight, building a stronger defense, and at a more competitive cost.
We have a cross-practice team that is diverse in experience and background and which includes former prosecutors from around the world, litigators who provide criminal defense, as well as specialists in corporate governance, securities, mergers and acquisitions, public procurement, data privacy, export controls, international trade, banking and finance, employment, and competition. Our lawyers’ corporate, transactional, and trade compliance experience are key differentiators from our competitors, and pair well with our members who have a law enforcement background. This diversity in practice ensures we design compliance programs that take into account the whole of our client’s business goals while also helping our clients avoid the type of tunnel vision that can solve one problem while unintentionally creating another.
Our compliance teams collaborate to serve you better. To deliver the full power of our global footprint, we work together closely and are in constant collaboration with colleagues around the world to solve our client’s problems and share knowledge and practical experience from each of our jurisdictions. As a result, we don’t just build compliance programs based on the FCPA or the UK Bribery Act, we use our local insight and business focus to design straightforward compliance programs that reduce risk while advancing business efficiency across the globe. Our tightly integrated collaborative team allows us to keep our clients abreast of global trends and changes in the regulatory environment.
At our core, we are innovative. The diversity of our team’s practices, the range of cultures we share, and the multitude of jurisdictions where we operate all combine to encourage us to find innovative solutions that reduce cost and solve our client’s challenges, effectively and efficiently. We have designed compliance and investigation tools that effectively reduce data privacy risk while advancing global engagement without undermining confidentiality or privilege. We have developed comparative law trackers on anti-bribery and corruption and risk assessment to help our clients deal with the complex web of regulations around the world. And we use artificial intelligence to reduce the cost of our data review while also speeding our review and advancing our understanding of events.
