Proskauer’s International Investigations and Compliance Group conducts investigations across a broad range of matters, including anti-corruption, trade sanctions and controls, and antitrust. We advise U.S., European, and other multinational clients operating around the world, including in South America, Africa, Russia, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), the Middle East, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), and Asia. Whether an investigation is precipitated by a regulatory or criminal inquiry, fiduciary obligations, auditor concerns, or internal whistleblower reports, we scope matters carefully and manage them efficiently and effectively.

We also provide critical risk management investigative services in connection with pre-acquisition due diligence, proactive disposition due diligence, integration due diligence, and risk-based due diligence on third parties such as agents, consultants, joint venture partners, and distributors.

Our team represents clients before national and international regulators, including the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), World Bank, and the UN. Our professionals have served as prosecutors for key regulatory bodies and as appointed monitors for the DOJ, SEC, UK Serious Fraud Office (SFO), World Bank, African Development Bank, and U.N. We also assist clients with post-resolution obligations, including independent monitorships and multi-year self-reporting.

Beyond investigations, our group offers tailored, cross-border compliance support to help multinational clients navigate complex regulatory environments and manage compliance risk. We provide the full spectrum of compliance-related services, from developing compliance structures, policies, and procedures to testing compliance programs, including field testing around the world, and delivering targeted training for employees, compliance and legal professionals, and third parties.
