Why choose our Bribery and Corruption lawyers?
If a bribery issue arises or is suspected, our bribery and
corruption experts can conduct rigorous, forensic investigations on behalf of
clients. We know how to avoid pitfalls when gathering evidence, how to
safeguard privilege and how to deal effectively with criminal and regulatory
authorities. We can also negotiate Deferred Prosecution Agreements in
appropriate cases.
Putting sound anti-bribery procedures in place and reviewing
them regularly will help businesses comply with bribery law and having adequate
preventative measures can themselves provide a defence to liability under the
Bribery Act 2010. Our years of experience in drafting practical and effective
procedures for all kinds of businesses gives our clients confidence in their
anti-bribery arsenal.
Our bribery and corruption specialists are
multi-disciplinary and will guide clients through the interlinking civil,
criminal, regulatory and disciplinary issues that often arise in suspected
bribery cases.
