Book excerpt: Global Investigations Review's The Practitioner's Guide to Global Investigations covers what to do at every stage during the lifecycle of a corporate investigation - from discovery of the initial problem to conclusion and beyond. Using US and UK practice and procedure to illustrate, the guide tracks the development of a serious allegation (whether originating inside or outside a company) as it develops - looking at the key risks that arise and the challenges it poses, along with the opportunities that may exist for its resolution. It offers expert insight into fact-gathering (including document preservation and collection, and witness interviews); structuring the investigation (the complexities of cross-border privilege issues); and strategizing effectively to resolve cross-border probes and manage corporate reputation. Further content provides detailed comparable surveys of the relevant law and practice in 12 jurisdictions that build on many of the vital issues highlighted. It is practical guide for external and in house legal counsel, compliance officers and accounting practitioners wishing to benchmark their practice against leaders in the field. Edited by Judith Seddon, Eleanor Davison, Christopher J Morvillo, Michael Bowes QC and Luke Tolaini, the book has 47 chapters contributed by leading practitioners and firms across the world such as Baker & McKenzie LLP, Clifford Chance LLP, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP.
