Companies under investigation often find themselves in the unenviable position of trying to balance the need to provide prosecuting agencies with the information they request and staying on the right side of the myriad of data protection legislation across the world. Get it wrong and they can find themselves in further difficulty with the prosecuting agencies or staring down the barrel of a hefty data protection fine. What steps can practitioners and companies take to successfully resolve these conflicts in an effective and timely way?

• Conducting internal investigations and responding to criminal or regulatory investigations without falling foul of data laws and blocking statutes;
• Managing the interplay between criminal, privacy, employment and whistleblower laws; and
• The steps being taken to address accessibility across different jurisdictional boundaries.
