Trusted legal support in high-stakes proceedings
When organisations or individuals are drawn into public inquiries, inquests, or regulatory investigations, the pressure is intense — and the consequences far-reaching. Shoosmiths’ experienced team provides clear, strategic advice to help clients navigate these complex and often sensitive processes.
We act for corporates, public bodies, and individuals involved in statutory inquiries, coroner’s inquests, and investigations by regulators such as the HSE, FCA, and SFO. Our lawyers are known for their calm, pragmatic approach and ability to manage risk while protecting our clients’ legal and reputational interests.
From preparing witnesses and managing disclosure to engaging with regulators and handling media scrutiny, we support clients at every stage. We also advise on internal investigations and governance reviews to help organisations learn from incidents and strengthen resilience.
Whether you’re responding to a tragic event, regulatory scrutiny, or political pressure, we help you act with integrity, clarity, and assurance.
