Investigations

Carrying out full internal investigations and assisting our clients in preparing and implementing the most appropriate strategies in the companies’ interests to complaints of criminal acts in the corporate sphere, including cooperation with the competent authorities.

We regularly advise global corporations, their directors and boards of directors on developing internal investigations and responding to investigations carried out by national and international judicial authorities and regulatory bodies, including the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank and other multilateral agencies.

We have extensive experience in developing investigations for public and private companies in a wide range of sectors and geographic areas, particularly in Europe and Latin America. Our multidisciplinary team enables us to provide holistic, efficient and sophisticated advice in different specialty areas, including:

  • International corruption and other financial offenses: We advise on internal investigations, procedural defense and the implementation of preventive and corrective measures in a wide range of areas relating to corruption, fraud, data protection, intellectual and industrial property, town planning, money laundering, investment fraud, environmental law and tax crimes.
  • Practices penalized by World Bank and other multilateral development organizations: We advise on how to handle the information requests, and audits and investigations regarding integrity carried out by the main multilateral development banks (e.g., World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank), as well as managing any possible negotiation strategies and lawsuits brought against those organizations.
