Clifford Chance complements its longstanding expertise in preventive matters with forensic capacities, which are regularly called upon by domestic and foreign companies from the real estate, technology and pharmaceutical sectors as well as financial service providers in the context of cum-cum, cum-ex as well as corruption and money laundering. Most recently, the team assisted with economic and financial sanctions as well as supply chain issues. The practice is jointly led by compliance expert Peter Dieners, who is experienced in the life sciences sector, and criminal lawyer Heiner Hugger; the latter routinely leads in cross-border investigations. Julia Baedorff (cross-border investigations, preventive compliance) was appointed to partner in May 2023.
