Guidance from SKE Advocaten
The impact of a criminal investigation is generally underestimated. The same applies to investigations of companies by the police and/or regulators. Proper guidance before and during such investigations can prevent you or your company from wrongly ending up in the dock. In our experience, proper guidance saves costs and limits (reputational) damage. In this context, we maintain good working relationships with the police, the FIOD (the Dutch Fiscal Information and Investigation Service), regulators such as De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) and the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM), the Netherlands Labour Authority and the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA). Because we understand that you do not want unwanted publicity, we operate with great discretion. We try to avoid a public hearing for you, for example by settling the case. If that is not possible, we aim to manage the publicity, if desired with the help of media advisers.
