International Investigations

In an increasingly international market businesses and individuals may find themselves under investigation both nationally and internationally.  The UK’s regulatory and investigatory bodies often work in tandem with their foreign counterparts such as the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) to ensure a co-ordinated approach across all relevant jurisdictions.   

Mutual Legal Assistance Requests made of the UK by other countries to provide assistance to them in criminal investigations and/or proceedings being conducted in that country are becoming more and more common.

Our Business Crime & Regulation Team can assist with:

• Providing advice and representation to individuals and businesses who face international investigation
• Providing advice to those who have been asked to provide information under a Mutual Legal Assistance Request
• Seek assistance from our excellent worldwide network of contacts
