A Dark Day for Dechert

In this episode, I visit with Jonathan Armstrong, partner at Cordery Compliance in London. We consider the recent payment by the international law firm Dechert of £20 million for its conduct and that of its former partner Neil Gerrard in the ENCR affair. The matter was a dark day for Dechert and a black eye on the legal profession. Some of the highlights include:

Key areas we discuss on this podcast are:

·      What were the failures of the law firm?

·      What led to the £20 million interim payment?

·      Will there be discipline against the law firm?

·      What is the role of a law firm in overseeing investigations?

·      How are the implications of holding investigative data under GDPR going forward?

·      Who watches the watchers (and investigators)?
