Dawn raids are becoming increasingly common as regulators and enforcement agencies use their powers to enter premises to search and seize material deemed relevant to their investigation.
An unannounced inspection by regulators can have a major impact on you, your business and your employees. Electronic data and other material is often seized and your staff members interviewed, sometimes under caution at the police station.
In today’s heightened regulatory environment, it is essential that your business is prepared for every eventuality, including dawn raids, to mitigate risk and help protect you and your company.
Our dawn raid experts can:
- Advise on and prepare dawn raid guidelines and procedures for employees to follow in the event of an inspection by authorities
- Mitigate the impact of a dawn raid on your business including data retention and separation to help with future identification of records that may be directly relevant to an investigation
- Conduct a dawn raid response audit to test client procedures for dealing with a dawn raid
- Face-to-face training on handling a dawn raid
