International government investigations

When dealing with litigation in various different jurisdictions, the Getting The Deal Through guides (GTDT) provide guidance, by way of a series of questions and answers. In the case of international government investigations, the GTDT guides offer important legal insight into government investigations in various jurisdictions, including the United States, Japan, Italy, Australia and Hong Kong. In doing so, they address various issues, including the government agencies responsible for enforcement in each jurisdiction, whether a particular jurisdiction recognises a legal concept of corporate criminal liability, which events trigger a government investigation, and the existence of whistleblower protections in each jurisdiction.
