Regulatory investigations and enforcement
Regulators are becoming more aggressive in their approach to the detection and prosecution of financial crime.
The current economic climate has resulted in greater cooperation between law enforcement agencies than ever before and those companies operating internationally should ensure that they understand the risks their businesses face, both domestically and internationally.
If your business is under investigation or facing prosecution from a regulatory body, our expert lawyers will defend your best interests and fight your case every step of the way.
Your company may be requested to provide evidence to the regulators, either voluntarily or under compulsory powers. Your directors or staff may require representation at interviews, either under caution or under compulsion. Whatever the case may be, our team has the experience to deal with the most pressurised of situations.
Our regulatory investigation solicitors have won some of the UK’s most serious, complex and high-profile cases and have been successfully defending companies, directors, senior personnel and high-net-worth individuals for more than 20 years.
We know the regulators inside out and how they work which gives us the strategic advantage and we are not afraid to challenge their demands.
Our experts understand the potentially devastating financial and reputational damage a regulatory investigation can have on you and your business. We will take rapid action to minimise damage and proactively advance your case to achieve the best outcome for you.
We have extensive experience in dealing with all specialist regulators including:
- Serious Fraud Office (SFO)
- Office of Fair Trading (OFT)
- H M Revenue and Customs (HMRC)
- Competition Commission
- Financial Services Authority (FSA)
- Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS)
Our team can also work with your company to review and improve your internal compliance and training programmes to reduce the risk of regulatory intervention.
