Bribery and corruption

Allegations of bribery and corruption carry serious legal, financial and reputational risk.

We act for individuals, directors and businesses facing investigation and prosecution under the Bribery Act 2010, while also advising organisations on preventing issues before they arise.

Our focus is straightforward: defend when issues arise, and reduce risk before they do.

What We Do

We advise across the full spectrum of bribery and corruption risk, from prevention through to defence.

We support businesses in managing bribery and corruption risk proactively.

This includes

• advising on and strengthening anti-bribery policies and procedures

• assessing and implementing adequate procedures under the Bribery Act 2010

• conducting or supporting internal investigations

• advising on whistleblowing and reporting obligations

• where issues arise internally, we ensure they are handled in a way that protects legal privilege, manages regulatory exposure and preserves your position.

Where allegations are raised, there is regulatory contact, document requests or the prospect of an interview under caution, we represent potential defendants by :

• assessing the allegation and legal exposure

• managing all engagement with investigators and regulators

• preparing and represent you at interviews under caution

We engage directly with enforcement bodies, including the Serious Fraud Office, to seek to resolve matters where possible and limit escalation.

If proceedings are issued, we provide a robust, evidence-led defence, focused on both liability and minimising wider impact.
