About
Provided by NautaDutilh
NautaDutilh's Corporate Investigations team has extensive experience in conducting complex and sensitive internal investigations for clients in many sectors to follow up indications of potential irregularities.
We have helped numerous clients set up and conduct an appropriate internal investigation. Working with IT specialists and forensic accountants, our lawyers can also provide advice on electronic data protection and analysis. They are experts in interviewing witnesses and highly skilled in accurately reporting findings of facts. In addition, our lawyers know how to follow up on the results of an internal investigation. That includes recovering any loss or damage, advising on disciplinary measures, and negotiating with the regulatory authorities or the Public Prosecution Service. Avoiding publicity is of course crucial in all of this. Our Corporate Investigations team supervises and, where necessary, drives the entire process, from the initial measures when a potential irregularity first comes to light to an effective solution. NautaDutilh has special teams to cover specific topics in the field of Corporate Crime, such as AML & Sanctions, Anti-corruption, Compliance and of course assistance in Dawn Raids and investigations.
