Investigations, White Collar, and Fraud

Investigations - Services - Hogan Lovells

Our award-winning investigations lawyers manage the impact of crime and regulatory enforcement on multinationals and their executives.

According to Global Investigations Review 100 (GIR), we are "One of the world's best investigations and white-collar practices." We work with you to limit the impact these events can have on your business. Our strength lies in managing the effects of an investigation – often where there is a multijurisdictional element.

Regulatory investigations; allegations of fraud, bribery, and corruption; sanctions and money laundering; whistle-blower complaints; dawn raids – multinationals and their executives face these and other threats to their businesses and reputations. If you get hit, you’ll need a strong investigative team.

We know the issues you need to watch out for

Our award-winning team handles all issues relating to enforcement, whistle-blowing, criminal liability, regulatory violations, tax investigations, and asset recovery. We pursue and defend claims against executive boards, and we craft internal programs and policies that comply with global legislation, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act. Local matters often give rise to international legal risks and investigations. Our team handles cross-border work, including in offshore jurisdictions. And we know what it takes to deal with such issues, having teams established in China, Europe, the Americas, Africa, and the Middle East. Whether this entails freezing assets or managing the interplay between foreign corruption and local jurisdictions, we know your concerns. Says GIR, "Few firms can rival Hogan Lovells' size, reputation and experience in the investigations space."
