Provided by The Risk Advisory Group
We work with in-house legal and compliance teams who require investigative expertise and an independent perspective when reacting to issues that affect their organization and situations that could develop into legal, reputational or commercial risks (for example allegations about potential misconduct, or bribery and corruption). We have particular experience in supporting clients who are conducting internal investigations - often when responding to whistleblower allegations or reports of internal wrongdoing - where there is a need for independent investigation and intelligence gathering on the ground in the jurisdiction in question.
