Provided by Wolf Theiss
Wolf Theiss Investigations, Crisis Response & Compliance team combines expertise from different areas such as corporate law, regulatory, competition or procurement law, as well as sector-specific knowledge and can advise you throughout the CEE/SEE region on the ever-shifting regulatory frameworks that directly affect your daily work and long-term success. When problems do arise, we can rapidly coordinate cross-border investigations to determine the scope of the problem and swiftly protect you and your business. 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.
