On September 1st, 2021, Matthew Durham and Felda Yeung spoke on a panel alongside Davin Teo, Managing Director of Alvarez & Marsal's Disputes & Investigations Practice in Hong Kong, about employee misconduct and internal investigations at the workplace.
Employee misconduct can take many forms, but whether this involves fraud, corruption, data/IP theft or harassment, planning and implementing the investigation with the help of experts is crucial.
In the seminar, we explored:
- Planning the investigation – who needs to know and when
- Scoping the investigation – dealing with data and potential cross-border issues
- Practical considerations – strategies for conducting interviews, finding evidence and collecting data
- Taking action – suspension of employees, disciplinary procedures and termination
- Regulatory investigations and dawn raids – specific thoughts on external investigations
