About

Provided by Wolf Theiss

In a global marketplace with ever-shifting regulation, a multijurisdictional approach is key. Our clients rely on our in-depth expertise and sector-specific knowledge to identify and prevent compliance risks.

Our experienced regional Investigations, Crisis Response and Compliance team headed by Jitka Logesová advises on issues of compliance, privacy, white collar crime, corporate criminal liability and beneficial ownership, and helps clients navigate large-scale corporate events and cross-border investigations. We structure and conduct internal investigations across all sectors, taking care to preserve legal privilege and not to trigger reporting obligations. We also advise on allegations of fraud, bribery and corruption, among other financial misconduct.

Given recent geopolitical events, we increasingly assist clients (especially large multinational corporations) with sanctions compliance. For instance, we advise on whether transactions are permitted under sanctions legislation and on the consequences of any sanctions breaches, as well as on drafting contracts that take account of sanctions risks.

Our experts use eDiscovery technology and are trained to conduct effective interviews. Prevention is better than the cure, so we provide clients with full risk assessments and help them implement effective controls. Moreover, the in-depth legal and commercial research conducted by our Corporate Intelligence Unit helps clients overcome potential and existing threats to business.
