Mayer Brown International LLP’s expertise encompasses cross-border investigations, regulatory issues, and compliance reviews, as well as ESG matters. Compliance instructions and internal investigations concerning corruption allegations form key pillars of work for the team, which is overseen by ‘superb practitioner’ Alistair Graham, an experienced litigator with an emphasis on regulatory and fraud investigations, as well as international asset tracing. Sam Eastwood, lauded for his ’unparalleled experience,’ takes point on anti-corruption, AML, human rights, and economic sanctions-related matters, while Jason Hungerford, dual-qualified in the UK and the US, is the name to note for financial crime and regulatory mandates.
