Global Investigations – The Importance of a Unified Front

Businesses need to be prepared to coordinate forces across borders to best protect themselves in the face of regulatory scrutiny. Gain insight into the necessity of a cohesive response to multi-jurisdictional regulatory action in the context of various sectors, and practical approaches for obtaining that cohesion, including:

• coordination amongst external counsel, and their respective third party experts;
• protection of rights amidst disparate legal and regulatory consequences;
• best practices for preserving privilege and confidentiality within different regimes;
• deploying a coordinated response to raids or search warrants; and
• the impact of whistleblower regimes.
