Experts In Internal Investigation And Whistleblower Matters
In the current corporate climate, regulators are more determined than ever that firms and individuals should take their duties seriously. When things do go wrong, firms should know how to use internal investigations for their own protection.
This is true for both criminal and regulatory investigations.
The Regulatory & Criminal Investigations Group at Irwin Mitchell possesses unrivalled experience of both criminal and regulatory investigations – allowing us to offer you guidance that considers short-term and long-term effects of the various tactical possibilities when dealing with an investigation.
We are also in the enviable position of having the additional support of our extremely well regarded commercial and employment teams on hand to ensure that we have all eventualities covered.
The broad range of regulated industries that Irwin Mitchell's Regulatory Investigations Group (RIG) regularly advise on includes:
- Construction and other health and safety areas (HSE)
- Financial services (FSA, FPC and AADB)
- Solicitors (SRA)
- Business and enterprise (BIS and OFT)
- Medical practices (GMC, MHRA)
- Financial crime (SFO, CPS and SOCA)
- Tax investigations (HMRC)
We appreciate that investigations don’t always keep to office hours and might span several time-zones – so our dedicated team are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to deal with urgent requests to defend and represent client interests.
We understand your regulator and offer key insights into the correct way of dealing with matters and have strong relationships with all the main regulators and prosecuting bodies.
In addition, our knowledge of criminal and civil proceedings ensures that we can safeguard your actions in respect of future developments.
