Investigations.
Helping you withstand investigator scrutiny, alleged wrong-doing and potential legal exposure.
Our expert lawyers advise, represent and guide clients through all aspects of the investigation process. We deploy a fast but measured response, and draw on our insight into investigations to protect your interests and minimise the risk of exposure.
Interest from regulators into compliance failures or alleged wrong-doing in your business can lead to legal and regulatory exposure and unwanted reputational issues.
Faced with an investigation, it’s essential that corporations and individuals get the right support and guidance to shield them from the potential of being prosecuted.
Our lawyers and wider investigations team have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of regulatory investigations to be able to meet them head on. We have extensive experience in representing corporate clients and individuals in criminal, government and regulatory investigations.
Clients turn to us because of our ability to respond decisively, and provide clarity and certainty throughout the entire process.
We in-depth experience spans a wide-range of investigation matters including:
- Work health and safety investigations
- ASIC and ACCC investigations
- Fraud, bribery and corruption
- Workplace investigations and misconduct
- Taxation investigations
- Corporate and white-collar crime
- Financial services regulatory actions
- ICAC investigations
- Coronial inquests
We know what counts in an investigation, what regulators are looking for, and how the evidence gathered will be interpreted against applicable laws and regulations.
We focus on working to effectively resolve investigations and avoid prosecution. But if prosecuted, you can rest assured that our early intervention during the investigation stage means the exposure is minimal.
