MÜLLER PAPARIS
EXPERTISE · LITIGATION, CRIMINAL LAW & INVESTIGATIONS

Clarifying the facts without turning the process itself into a risk.

We plan and conduct internal investigations where there are indications of breaches of duty, misconduct, compliance issues or management problems. The mandate, independence, data protection, rights of those involved and reporting channel are clearly defined before the investigation begins.

How can we support you?

A report or suspicion has arisen

Credibility, urgency, need for protection and scope of investigation must be assessed.

What we do for you

Clearly defined services.

Investigation design

We define the mandate, leadership, scope, reporting line and decision-making channels.

Preservation of evidence & document review

We structure data access, retention, review and chronology.

Interviews

We prepare interviews, conduct them and document statements in a comprehensible manner.

Legal assessment & report

We transparently distinguish between facts, legal classification and recommendations.

Follow-up measures

We support you with employment law, governance, communication and improvement measures.

FAIRNESS CREATES ROBUSTNESS

An investigation is only as convincing as its mandate and its procedure.

A predetermined outcome, unclear roles or disproportionate use of data undermine trust and the usability of the results. We structure the investigation independently, purposefully and with respect for all parties involved.
