We are pleased to announce that Lamia Matta,* Lauren Briggerman, and Ann Sultan* authored the "International Investigations" chapter in The General Counsel's Guide to Government Investigations, published by The Government Investigations & Civil Litigation Institute (GICLI). Matta is also a member of GICLI's editorial board. "As government investigations become increasingly global, companies are more likely to be swept up in investigations involving multiple jurisdictions. Such cross-border investigations are complicated and require thoughtful planning, ongoing coordination, and almost always the advice of outside legal experts," the authors wrote. " It is imperative that any company finding itself in investigative cross-hairs develop a bespoke response anticipating and accommodating the unique laws and practices of each investigating jurisdiction.  Coordinating counsel experienced in managing the moving pieces of a cross-border investigation will be critical to ensuring that all of the company’s advisors and consultants are working in tandem to achieve a favorable outcome for the company. "

The goal of the Guide is to provide a basic introduction from a sophisticated perspective for handling and representation of corporations and individuals in government investigations. The book is available for purchase here.
