Today’s global multinational businesses are often the recipient of complex inquiries related to investigations — at times coordinating with multiple authorities — all require compliance with tight timelines and a high degree of quality. Law firms and corporations must be highly selective of vendor partners engaged on these sensitive matters where only the right blend of rigorous workflow, global capability, technical know how and significant resources can deliver. Failure to do so invites significant risk exposure and costs — either directly or through massive judgements — to clients.
