Corporate Investigations & Crisis Management
When an organisation faces allegations of irregularities, criminal offences or serious misconduct, it requires experience, structure and the ability to act swiftly. An internal corporate investigation is not just about clarifying what has happened – it is about providing senior management and boards with a clear basis for decision-making to protect the business and achieve the best possible outcome.
Ebba Walberg Snygg helps companies and organisations manage complex and sensitive situations where employees, management or other individuals connected to the business are suspected of having acted improperly. The work is carried out with a clear legal and commercial focus, with the aim of quickly establishing clarity, identifying risks and, together with the client, choosing the right way forward.
Moll Wendén works on a daily basis with Whitepaper Advisors, which has extensive experience in specialist corporate investigations, fact-finding and analysis. This collaboration combines legal expertise with in-depth investigative skills, providing clients with strong support in situations where their business has been exposed to risks, financial loss or crises of confidence.
Ebba Walberg Snygg and David Carlsvi have worked together for over 15 years on investigations into, amongst other things, suspected crimes, financial irregularities, disloyalty, internal breaches of rules and serious misconduct by employees. Over the years, they have built up extensive experience in managing crises and supporting companies and organisations when situations need to be analysed and dealt with swiftly.
In every case, a comprehensive assessment is carried out to determine which measures best safeguard the client’s interests and the organisation’s objectives. This may, for example, involve assessing the need to report the matter to the police, take action under employment law, address insurance issues, make claims or undertake other strategic measures to limit the damage and regain control of the situation.
We assist, amongst other things, with:
- Suspected crimes or irregularities within the organisation
- Whistleblowing cases and internal complaints
- Suspected disloyalty or breaches of employment obligations
- Investigations into employees, management and other key personnel
- Situations where companies need to quickly establish the facts and make important decisions
- Support with crisis management and strategic decision-making
Our approach is characterised by decisiveness, legal precision and a deep understanding of the business implications that can arise when an organisation finds itself in a vulnerable situation. We support clients throughout the entire process – from the initial suspicion, through investigation and analysis, to the decision-making and implementation of necessary measures.
Ebba Walberg Snygg has been named Client Choice 2026 by Lexology, an award based on client assessments that highlights lawyers who are particularly valued for the quality of their advice and client work.
When a crisis arises, it is crucial to take the right action from the outset. Moll Wendén and White Paper Advisors are on hand to provide experienced support throughout the entire process.
Related Civil Litigation and Procedural Security Measures
If the company during the course of an investigation is found to have suffered damages, it is important to get a quick overview and find a strategic solution that is tailored to the commercial needs and legal prerequisites. This is crucial to minimize further losses, protect the company’s reputation, and ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, as the outcome of civil litigation or a criminal proceeding may have significant consequences for the company.
Moll Wendén has expertise in judicial proceedings and security measures, such as requests for sequestration of property, securing assets in case of i.a fraud, intrusion investigations in connection to suspected infringements of IP-rights, and claims for damages or insurance claims in relation to damages suffered by the company.
