Our Expertise with Inquiry, Inquest and Internal Investigations
External Inquiries
External inquiries and inquests can present a number of complex challenges to you and your business. Whether you are subject to a public inquiry, a financial service investigation, a regulatory compliance matter or allegations of corporate crime, it is essential that you seek out legal support immediately.
Our solicitors have a depth of experience when it comes to handling external inquiries, including high-profile investigations which are likely to attract significant media attention.
After being instructed, we can talk you through the steps that need to be taken and how to respond to the general process. Depending on the outcome of the investigation, we can then advise you on how to minimise the impact of any action that is due to take place.
Internal Investigations
There are various reasons why it may be necessary to launch an internal investigation. It could the result of a whistle-blower report, a simple due diligence exercise, or to follow up on a third-party report.
Where you feel it is necessary to launch an internal investigation, our team can work alongside you to help clarify the scope of work that needs to be conducted, the way the investigation should be structured, and what your legal obligations are with regards to collecting data.
We understand that the prospect of an internal investigation could present certain complications for your day-to-day operations. As such, we will take the time to minimise any disruption caused and to operate with the highest levels of discretion.
Reputation Management and Press Relations
The results of an investigation can have a huge impact on your businesses’ reputation. In some cases, the mere presence of an investigation can attract negative press, which in some situations can be difficult to recover from.
If you wish to prioritise reputation management and press relations in the wake of an inquiry or investigation, this is something our team can support you with.
