Guidance You Deserve
"Strong compliance protects your business, but strategic defense protects your future. We stand beside you in every high-risk moment."
Building a strong compliance framework is no longer optional; it is essential for any company operating in a regulated environment. Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP provides end-to-end compliance advisory services to help businesses reduce risk, protect stakeholders, and maintain operational integrity. Our compliance lawyers assist in crafting policies that align with local laws in Bangladesh while respecting international regulatory expectations.
We work closely with senior management, compliance teams, and internal auditors to design compliance programs suited to the organization’s size, industry, and risk profile. Our advisory covers corporate governance, anti-money laundering (AML) requirements, financial reporting accuracy, data protection obligations, employment compliance, supply chain integrity, ESG governance, and risk evaluation frameworks.
Our law firm conducts detailed compliance audits to detect potential weaknesses, policy gaps, or operational vulnerabilities that may expose the company to fines, regulatory actions, or reputational damage. Clients rely on us to ensure compliance with Bangladesh Bank guidelines, BSEC regulations, anti-corruption laws, and sector-specific requirements in finance, manufacturing, technology, pharmaceuticals, and trade.
Our compliance lawyers also prepare staff training manuals, whistleblower protocols, ethical guidelines, and operational checklists to embed compliance culture across your organization. If an issue arises, we help companies respond with transparency and efficiency, reducing the chance of legal escalation.
For global businesses, cross-border compliance creates additional complexity. Our international teams coordinate seamlessly to help companies meet expectations of multiple jurisdictions, such as FATF standards, UK Bribery Act obligations, and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP provides a proactive, practical, and fully customized approach that allows clients to operate with confidence while reducing exposure to legal or financial risks.
Internal investigations are sensitive, high-stakes matters that require total confidentiality, independence, and legal accuracy. Our law firm conducts rigorous internal investigations into allegations involving fraud, financial misconduct, bribery, harassment, conflicts of interest, procurement irregularities, asset diversion, and breaches of company policy.
When allegations surface, companies must respond quickly and professionally to establish facts, identify responsible parties, and determine whether external reporting is necessary. Our investigations team includes compliance lawyers, forensic analysts, and sector-specific experts who work together to deliver clear, evidence-based findings.
We manage all stages of an investigation: preliminary evaluation, data collection, interviews, forensic review of accounts, digital evidence extraction, report preparation, and corrective recommendations. The process is always discreet, unbiased, and handled with strict confidentiality.
Our internal investigation lawyers also advise on remediation steps, disciplinary actions, corporate restructuring, and regulatory notifications when required. If the matter involves potential criminal exposure, we coordinate defense strategies while helping the company demonstrate transparency and cooperation.
Our global investigation capability allows us to support multinational companies managing issues that span multiple countries, regulatory frameworks, and legal systems. The aim is simple: uncover facts accurately, protect the organization, and minimize legal risk.
Corruption and bribery allegations can destroy corporate reputations and expose executives to severe penalties. Our anti-corruption lawyers provide clear, practical guidance to help clients comply with both Bangladeshi anti-corruption laws and leading international standards such as the FCPA and UK Bribery Act.
Our services include corruption risk assessment, transaction-level due diligence, third-party vetting, compliance manual drafting, training sessions, whistleblower protocol development, and ongoing monitoring of high-risk operations. We work closely with procurement teams, board members, and senior management to ensure policies reflect real-world risks.
When a company faces allegations of bribery or facilitation payments, we help manage internal assessments, prepare defense strategies, and respond to regulatory agencies. Our law firm also supports multinational clients facing cross-border corruption probes, helping align local and international legal strategies.
We focus on prevention first, creating systems that identify red flags early and limit exposure before an issue grows into a prosecutable offense. With deep experience in high-risk industries including construction, government contracting, banking, and logistics, we bring real insight to every engagement.
White-collar criminal allegations require strong legal defense, strategic negotiation, and detailed forensic analysis. Our white-collar crime lawyers defend clients against accusations involving fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, insider trading, embezzlement, cybercrimes, financial manipulation, and corporate misconduct.
A single accusation can cause regulatory action, banking restrictions, loss of investor confidence, and reputational harm. We move quickly to understand the facts, assess evidence, engage with prosecutors, and build a defense strategy that protects the client at every stage of the process.
We represent clients during inquiries, interrogation sessions, document requests, raids, and regulatory investigations. Our litigation team is prepared to defend clients in court if necessary, while also negotiating favorable settlements or dismissals when possible.
Our approach balances aggression with discretion. We safeguard the client’s image while working to minimize criminal exposure, financial penalties, and potential imprisonment. For international cases, our cross-border teams coordinate to ensure compliance with foreign legal requirements and provide seamless defense strategy.
Government inquiries and regulatory investigations can be overwhelming for businesses, especially when they involve financial regulators, tax authorities, anti-corruption bodies, or law enforcement agencies. Our lawyers guide clients through every step of the process, ensuring that responses are accurate, strategic, and fully compliant.
We assist clients facing inquiries from Bangladesh Bank, BSEC, NBR, ACC, DSE, CID, and other regulatory or enforcement bodies. Our services include preparing response documents, managing evidence production, handling interviews, preparing legal arguments, and negotiating resolutions.
Our goal is to protect the company from unnecessary exposure while ensuring full cooperation with authorities. For multinational companies, we manage parallel investigations across different countries, helping maintain consistency and prevent conflicting statements.
We also advise clients on preventing future issues by strengthening compliance systems, updating internal controls, and implementing governance reforms where necessary.
