Compliance & Investigations

The key to building and safeguarding a business is proactively managing legal and regulatory risks. 

‍

Prioritising the early investigation and remediation of potential issues is critical to heading off costly disputes, government investigations and enforcement actions. The advantages gained by clients are immeasurable and include protecting business reputation and corporate value.

‍

Over the years, our teams have worked with boards, audit committees, legal, compliance, finance, cyber and data security teams across the Greater China region. We leverage this expertise and seasoned judgement to help our clients manage risks, while guiding them through investigations, enforcement actions by government and regulatory authorities, and related litigation.  

‍

We work closely with client in-house teams to assess legal and regulatory rights, obligations, and potential liabilities. This may include augmenting client resources in circumstances where additional experience and leadership is required.

To reduce the likelihood of non-compliance and the significant associated costs, we devise and implement strategies to identify, head off and remediate gaps and potential issues.

Our services include:

‍

• Risk management advice regarding anti-bribery and corruption; anti-competition; anti-money laundering and terrorist financing; conflicts of interest; cyber and data security; disputes; financial and securities fraud; and human rights, whistleblowing and other workforce related issues
• Due diligence on transaction and supply chain compliance 
• Cybersecurity and data protection compliance, maturity assessments, cross-border data transfer, data access rights and data breach management 
• Incident and crisis management

‍

Regulatory compliance often gives rise to multi-jurisdictional challenges. That is why we work closely with lawyers in other jurisdictions (Mainland China, ASEAN countries, European Union and the United States) who offer local law expertise for cross-border matters. Our collaboration extends to working with professional experts in IT, forensic accounting and technology to ensure the most effective resources are committed to the engagement.
