Faced with increasing complexity in the wake of the evolving global geo-political situation, the challenge for businesses to build processes that effectively identify and mitigate business risk is greater than ever.

In an increasingly interconnected world, international organisations both governmental and non-governmental together with prosecutors, regulators, shareholders, journalists and civil society groups all seek to hold corporations and their senior executives accountable for allegedly unlawful and unethical conduct. The issues facing these corporations and executives are often cross-jurisdictional or involve concurrent questions of civil, criminal and regulatory law. Concerns about unethical or unlawful conduct typically arise in relation to criminal laws around fraud, embezzlement, bribery (including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the Bribery Act), market manipulation, sanctions, tax evasion and money laundering.
No matter the subject of the allegation, a mismanaged response can result in significant financial, logistical and reputational harm. When issues arise, it is critical that the facts are established quickly, practical legal advice is given, and (where necessary) remedial action is taken promptly.
Eversheds Sutherland’s global team of lawyers and other professionals represents leading corporations and senior executives in the financial services, insurance, energy, environmental, diversified industrial, construction, metals, mining, retail and food and drink sectors. We work in all of the world’s major economies and have extensive experience in developing countries in Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa, providing quality, innovation and consistency in legal service delivery around the globe from 74 offices in 35 countries.
Our team is comprised of subject matter experts across the core areas of financial crime, corporate crime and investigations covering Anti-bribery and corruption, Anti-money laundering and sanctions. We are also one of the only global law firms that also has a specialist financial crime compliance team made up of specialist lawyers, non-lawyers and regulatory specialists, with practical experience of working in-house at international regulators or law enforcement agencies such as the Serious Fraud Office, the Financial Conduct Authority, the National Crime Agency, and the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK and the Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission in the US.
Additionally, our team have worked within the legal and compliance functions at some of the world’s largest global corporations in positions such as Money Laundering Reporting Officer, Global Head of Sanctions and Global Head of Financial Crime Legal. In 2013, we were appointed Skilled Persons for Financial Crime by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority and Prudential Regulation Authority, tasked with assisting the regulator with the assessment of the adequacy of financial crime systems and controls across regulated firms and have also supported the UK’s Serious Fraud Office with some of its recent high-profile cases.
Our unique insight into full end-to-end financial crime compliance, investigation, enforcement and assurance is reflected by our inclusion in industry guides such as GIR 100, Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners.
