Overview

Investigation work is peppered with legal and practical issues for which there is not always one correct solution. In recent years, organisations of all sizes, sectors and markets have been faced with managing internal investigations.

For their general counsel, knowing how to respond to these threats goes beyond knowledge of black-letter law. Knowing who to communicate with in the organisation, aligning legal with other functions, and finding practical and timely external advice are now more important than ever. And with the trend towards remote working in the Czech Republic and wider CEE, the risks businesses face is set to grow.

This webinar, brought to you by The Legal 500 and Wolf Theiss, was designed to provide general counsel and risk & compliance professionals with guidance on the practical steps that can be taken to mitigate, manage and overcome the different stages of an investigation, from the initial complaint to the final outcome.

We also discussed the key practical issues for employers to consider when carrying out multi-jurisdictional investigations in a remote working environment and provided tips for engagement with foreign authorities.
