INTERNAL INVESTIGATIONS & COMPLIANCE

BETTO PERBEN regularly conducts internal investigations for French and foreign companies. The firm acts upon request of legal representatives, after an alert has been received, which can be the starting point of criminal and/or administrative prosecutions or have reputational consequences.

The expertise of the team provides companies with neutral and operational responses, to better handle risks. BETTO PERBEN assists companies with the implementation of their compliance program, especially for matters related to corruption prevention, business ethics, corporate social responsibility, and whistleblowers protection.
