Investigations & White Collar, Government Relations And Compliance

business crime

Our White Collar Crime Investigations Practice group assists corporations, officers, individuals, employees, and directors in the ever-evolving and dynamic business context and at every stage of the enforcement process.

It is noteworthy that investigations have become more sophisticated. Technical and pejorative challenges arise due to the increasingly elaborate tactics used by perpetrators. At Famsville, we have developed a broad knowledge of investigations and enquiries, and also developed capacity and an understanding of the relevant criminal laws to enable us to guide clients through investigations, and compliance with extant regulations whilst increasing the prospect of a successful outcome
