Internal Investigation & Crossborder Proceedings

Our internal investigation team has extensive experience in conducting internal investigations for corporations in Switzerland and around the world. We also routinely conduct independent investigations on behalf of corporate boards and supervisory authorities. We investigate incidents to assess civil or criminal liability and to determine their regulatory impact on our clients and advise our clients on their implications.

We conduct investigations for clients to assess the potential liability of directors and officers, alleged violations of domestic and foreign supervisory regulations, as well as alleged violations of domestic and foreign anti-corruption laws (such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, FCPA).

Our team specializing in cross-border proceedings focuses on international legal assistance proceedings in both civil and criminal matters. We also represent clients in international administrative assistance proceedings initiated by financial markets supervisors and tax authorities. In this context, we also regularly advise our clients on privacy and secrecy laws (trade secrets, banking secrecy, data protection and employment law) as well as on sovereignty-related restrictions on the transferring of data to another jurisdiction (illicit operations of a foreign state and industrial espionage).

 

The scope of our work includes:

Internal investigations and independent investigations on behalf of corporate bodies or supervisory authorities

Internal antitrust investigations

International legal and administrative assistance
