About Parallel Sanctions

Those accused of business crime frequently face criminal investigation and prosecution in parallel with civil proceedings and regulatory and employment action. This is particularly the case where the wrongdoer is a professional.

These parallel sanctions require careful management and sophisticated legal expertise. The issues of legal privilege, confidentiality, self-incrimination and admissibility in the parallel pursuit or defence of criminal law and civil law sanctions requires a comprehensive understanding of the different and occasionally competing disciplines.
