Die traditionelle Stärke in der Transaktionsberatung fließt bei Latham & Watkins LLP
auch in die präventive Compliance-Arbeit an, wodurch man oftmals im Rahmen der Due Diligence mandatiert wird, jedoch auch zu Corporate Governance und Hinweisgebersystemen. Dies ergänzt man durch Expertise in ESG und Lieferkettensorgfalt sowie in Themen, die sich aus Fehlverhalten am Arbeitsplatz ergeben. Die Praxis steht unter der gemeinsamen Leitung von Thomas Grützner (Strafrecht und interne Untersuchungen) und Tim Wybitul
(behördliche Verfahren und Datenschutz). Der ehemalige Co-Praxisgruppenleiter Tobias Larisch (Corporate Governance, Gesellschaftsrecht und M&A) wechselte im Sommer 2024 zu Kirkland & Ellis International LLP.
