Counsel and Industry Focus

Internal Investigations and Corporate Compliance Programs
We conduct high-profile, complex internal investigations for corporate clients throughout the region and help companies proactively address geographic and industry-specific concerns to mitigate local and international exposure. These efforts include representing companies and individuals during all stages of enforcement proceedings, from advising on potential self-disclosure, to responding to and resolving government inquiries.

Our team also has extensive experience designing and implementing corporate compliance procedures and training programs that acknowledge and address the realities of conducting business in the Asia-Pacific region. Our programs are designed to ensure that compliance-related messages are effectively communicated to employees throughout the organization.

Financial Services Regulation
Our Asia-Pacific Compliance practice routinely represents individuals, public companies, accounting firms, hedge funds, broker-dealers, investment advisers and financial institutions before the SEC, CFTC, OFAC and FINRA. We also counsel clients in actions related to registered foreign associated persons in Asia as well as Asian individuals with deposit accounts in the U.S.

Our practice group members have significant experience working for government agencies, including several team members who have served as senior enforcement staff members at the SEC. These experiences have led to a deep understanding of the inner workings of these regulatory agencies. This depth of experience allows us to provide clients with insights into the interests of those on both sides of the negotiating table.
