View Chapter 2 - The New Role of Corporate Internal Investigations

“[Securities Investigations] collects the experience of many of the most experienced lawyers in securities law enforcement. This book belongs n the desk of every practitioner whose clients have a stake in securities investigations, whether civil or criminal.”

 —Peter J. Romatowski, Partner, Jones Day; former Chief of Securities and Commodity Frauds Unit, U.S. Attorneys’ Office, Southern District of New York

Corporate scandals have triggered more federal and state investigations than ever before. Yet a recent poll of 1,000 U.S. business leaders found that only 20% of their companies were equipped to handle a government inquiry.

PLI’s new Securities Investigations makes sure that you and your company are ready. This practical, easy-to-read resource gives you the legal and procedural insight you need to handle the issues and pressures of government investigations at less expense and to conduct your own internal investigations that root out problems before they lead to costly civil and criminal problems and bad PR.

Written by attorneys experienced in handling a wide range of investigations, Securities Investigations guides you on how to put together compliance programs that prevent legal problems in the first place and how to lessen the damage caused by legal missteps, by cooperating with government investigators.

Updated at least annually, Securities Investigations is a must reference for attorneys, executives, managers, compliance officers, regulators, accountants, and auditors.
