Investigations

We support our clients to limit financial, reputational and legal risk, making it easier to find a route through the investigation process.

There can be any number of triggers for an investigation - it may be a specific workplace incident, a whistleblower, a standard internal business review or something else entirely. Any form of investigation typically carries significant reputational and financial risk for our clients and is stressful, time consuming and disruptive for those involved. 


We act quickly to assess the situation and protect our clients’ interests. We help to navigate the process, whether that's by providing support and guidance in the background, taking conduct of the investigation ourselves, or anything in between. We have experience of advising on some of the most high-profile investigations and inquiries in recent years, but whether it's high profile or behind closed doors, we tailor our approach to fit.   


Once the investigation stage is complete, we turn our focus to resolution, including lessons learned, governance improvements and remediation steps.
