U.S. Companies with International Operations

Uncovering financial wrongdoing in the U.S. and offshore.

We support clients in defending against government enforcement inquiries, drawing on our experience interacting with the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory agencies. We have experience conducting investigations in many countries, and our professionals have language skills including Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, French, German, Mandarin Chinese and Tagalog (Filipino). In addition, we have a worldwide network of contacts through our international strategic alliances, providing needed services to clients no matter where they are located. Our experience in Latin America is extensive.

What Sets Us Apart

Our professionals include Certified Fraud Examiners (CFEs), Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) and Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (CAMS). We also have practical experience conducting complex financial investigations, as well as cultural fluency of the local norms, language skills and strong data analytics capabilities.

Collaborating with Law Firms on Investigations

We work with law firms on a broad array of financial, forensic accounting, regulatory and internal investigations involving such issues as financial statement fraud, collusion, whistleblower claims, corruption, bribery, overstated revenues, understated liabilities, shell companies, screening of third parties, vendor and employee fraud, conflicts of interest, expense reimbursement schemes and ethics hotline complaints.

For multifaceted investigations that require a broader array of capabilities, such as tax matters, electronic data collection, cybersecurity and internal controls, we assemble teams to bring clients an “end-to-end” solution through a network of contacts in the U.S. and abroad, leveraging Weaver’s in-house capabilities and international strategic alliances.

Compliance and Anti-Corruption Support

Non-compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and other complex anti-corruption laws can lead to financial penalties, as well as to reputational damage. When a business is facing allegations of corporate malfeasance, various stakeholders, such as regulators, auditors and investors, expect timely and credible answers supported by a prompt, well-conceived and executed investigation strategy.

Weaver assists U.S. law firms and companies in developing, implementing and monitoring proactive compliance programs to control risks and, when issues arise, respond to regulators.
