Essential Strategies for White-Collar and Internal Investigations.
In this installment of our Double Play series, our two, thirty-minute programs cover five lessons from white-collar investigations and conducting defensible internal investigations. There are few things senior executives fear more than criminal prosecution, and that's with good reason because being prosecuted can ruin lives, reputations, finances - both corporate and personal - marriages, and families.
This program provides practical advice for counsel on how their companies can seek to avoid triggering a criminal investigation and what to do if you're faced with one. With whistleblower complaints skyrocketing, how can companies conduct internal investigations that will be defensible to the SEC and other regulators? This program shares five key lessons for in-house lawyers as they are considering launching, managing and reporting the results of internal investigations.
