Linklaters strengthens investigations offering

Linklaters has today launched a new global investigations initiative showcasing the breadth of its investigations expertise. The firm has extensive global investigations capabilities across sectors, regulators and practice groups and this new initiative combines the global team of specialists with diverse but complementary expertise to service clients’ needs better.

The approach reflects the cross-practice nature of investigations work and global reach required to handle the most complex and sensitive of internal and external investigations. It ensures a consistent client experience and best use of leading technology and investigations techniques to deliver value and efficiency.

Commenting on the development, Alison Wilson, Global Head of Dispute Resolution at Linklaters and chair of the Global Investigations leadership team, stated:

“We conduct investigations in many practice groups across Linklaters and increasingly, we see investigations that begin in one jurisdiction with a single focus expanding in geographic and substantive scope. Regulators’ and enforcement agencies’ investigations often cross borders and so do we; our global, multi-disciplinary team of investigations lawyers brings together a mix of technical expertise and practical experience of dealing with very high-profile and sensitive investigations around the world.”

Linklaters’ global team of investigations specialists provide a ‘go to’ port of call and seamless service for all internal and external investigations needs.
