Corporate crime, investigations and compliance

We assist our clients in solving difficult and complex investigation and compliance cases, including by carrying out independent legal investigations or internal investigations. We have advanced forensic tools at our disposal, which allows us to handle large quantities of data intelligently and efficiently. Together, our project management and eDiscovery centre and our investigation team ensure that we have experienced resources with highly specialized legal, IT and data management competencies.

The investigations we assist in are often initiated as a result of whistleblower reports, internal audits or complaints. The investigations are performed in accordance with all rules and regulations applicable to businesses, organisations and employees. 

We assist private and public customers, trade unions and trade organisations. All of our investigations are organised with due regard to GDPR and the protection of privacy and legal privilege. 

Defence systems and trusted advice

An important part of our work is to assist in implementing strong internal controls and defence systems and to develop ongoing compliance and risk management systems. We use our specialist knowledge and experience to spot the weak links in existing defence systems. We draft policies and internal procedures relating to areas such as sanctions, AML, bribery, GDPR and competition law. 

In addition, our team members have unique expertise and experience in corporate criminal law. We have assisted several large Danish and international undertakings and financial institutions in cases brought by the Danish State Prosecutor for Serious Economic and International Crime (SØIK) or by other Danish or foreign authorities, for instance the UK Serious Fraud Office (SFO) or the US Department of Justice (DOJ).

Such cases may result in imposition of large fines, claims for damages, loss of reputation and, in certain circumstances, personal liability on the part of the management members and other employees. We have developed unique experience in such cases and in handling them internally and externally.

We work closely with Kromann Reumert's other practice groups such as Dispute Resolution, Financial services, Capital markets, Personal data and whistleblower schemes and Employment and labour law, thereby ensuring that our clients receive specialist legal advice across all areas of law from experts with commercial insight and up-to-date knowledge within their areas.  

We assist all types of businesses and provide advice within several specialist areas of law.
