Unlike many other global law firms in London, Dechert has substantial experience in defending companies facing criminal investigation. We pass this knowledge on to our clients. Our first-hand, practical experience of how enforcement is actually carried out by the world’s law enforcement agencies underpins our approach to compliance.
Our team is particularly noted for its expert handling of the most sensitive cross-border corporate investigations. We support companies’ compliance efforts in areas such as anticorruption, accounting restatements and insider trading, money laundering, asset-tracing and recovery, tax and cartel investigations.
In addition, audit committees, boards of directors, companies and senior officers call on us for crucial, timely advice on matters surrounding internal and regulatory investigations.
