A trustworthy advocate.
Whether imposed by a court or via an agreement with regulators or prosecutors, monitorships have become an important tool in ensuring an organization’s compliance with applicable legal standards. Once associated only with criminal investigations, monitorships have been successfully instituted in many industries to advance worldwide compliance with antitrust, antifraud, health, safety, environmental, and anti-terrorism laws and regulations. Organizations also may seek an independent investigation of alleged misconduct to avoid claims that they covered up wrongdoing and to avoid the imposition of a monitorship.
