Advisory

Overview

Advisory

Many problems can be avoided or at least kept manageable if addressed promptly. An early commercial solution saves the management time and energy. Even where disputes and proceedings cannot be avoided, sound early advice improves the chances for a favourable outcome and avoids mis-steps that often come back and haunt a client. In enforcement and regulatory matters, early investigations and advice are crucial.


We are able to advise on the conducting of compliance checks, reviewing of policies, investigations and inquiries, ‘crisis management’, and negotiations to resolve disputes.
