CDH's Corporate & White Collar Investigations practice brings internationally aligned standard corporate investigations advisory services to Africa, helping to shape this area of the law. We have deep cross-border experience in this field and a strong working knowledge of corporate investigations legislation and regulation in jurisdictions across the continent and globe, including the US and the UK. Our skills are popular with clients on a range of matters that often stem from single jurisdictions, and flow across multiple jurisdictions. Where necessary, the firm is also able to source additional resources to provide the depth necessary for large-scale investigations. Our team’s longevity of service and work, stretching back more than two decades, is a significant commercial advantage for clients. We offer a time- and cost-efficient approach to managing adverse attention from a regulator. We help preserve market reputation and shareholder confidence, maintain internal stability and contain media scrutiny. Our multidisciplinary team, which includes legal and forensic practitioners, accountants, former law enforcement agents and digital professionals, is purposefully constituted and includes holders of the global Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) and the South African Forensic Practitioner FP (SA) designations.
