Dawn raid support

As part of our broader competition investigations work, we have considerable experience advising clients under investigation, including in dawn raids.

If you need support in the event of a dawn raid, or if you would simply like to ensure that your business is prepared in the eventuality of a dawn raid, contact one of our team for assistance.

We also offer more general advice on managing a crisis, for example, a crisis line with 24 hour support and reputational management e.g. advice on press announcements and public messaging (if a client is publicly named as an investigated party) through our 'Resilience' product.
