Because they face civil and regulatory risk in multiple jurisdictions, those investigations must also be conducted in multiple jurisdictions. Jurisdictions have different rules relating to internal investigations, such as privilege, employee interviews and disclosure obligations. This session will discuss how to conduct a cross-border internal investigation effectively and the pitfalls that may await in-house counsel.
