We worked with Pinsent Masons on a complex investigation and disclosure involving potential corruption allegations concerning large multinational corporations. The firm was extremely thorough, collaborating with attorneys across three continents and reviewing a vast volume of data. Thanks to its strong work, the client achieved an outstanding result. Neil McInnes and Edward James led the effort and were excellent—tireless in their approach and strategic in minimising the client’s exposure.

Pinsent Masons acted as our UK counsel in a cross-border investigation into politically sensitive conduct in Africa involving substantial sums of money. The firm performed superbly at both the investigative and resolution stages. During the investigation, it drew on expertise from multiple continents, including Africa, which was uniquely helpful. At the resolution stage, it was savvy and engaged effectively with regulators. Neil McInnes was an exceptional quarterback throughout.
