Employee fraud is not a new problem, but the impact of employee fraud on the employer has increased as corporate wrongdoing has drawn more and more attention. As a result of globalization, there are now more cases where employee fraud at an overseas subsidiary develops into an issue that affects the corporate group as a whole.
Employee fraud is often committed in secret by an individual or a small number of people with the assistance of outside accomplices, so a company may not always be able to conduct sufficient investigations on its own. In particular, failure to implement an appropriate initial response drastically raises the risk of the destruction of evidence. We provide full support in handling various kinds of employee fraud, drawing upon our years of experience and high-level expertise in this field. We also make full use of our expertise in cross-border investigations and our network of overseas offices and local law firms to provide global support that takes into account local laws in all relevant jurisdictions.

Employee Fraud / Harassment
A company’s initial steps to preserve evidence are especially important in cases of employee fraud, and companies are significantly affected by how well or poorly they handle fact-finding investigations and media relations. We are able to provide prompt and extensive support in handling employee fraud cases based on our abundant experience.
Harassment in the workplace is a compliance issue that affects nearly every company, and it is essential not only to develop effective preventive measures but also to handle incidents promptly and appropriately when they occur. We assist clients in formulating preventive compliance structures and also in dealing with all types of harassment situations when they arise.
Incidents of harassment, including sexual harassment, in the workplace require prompt and appropriate measures that are tailored to the circumstances of each case. If these issues are not handled properly, legal disputes may develop that have a materially adverse impact on corporate reputation.
With globalization, incidents of harassment are likely to arise in a company’s overseas operations. Handling overseas harassment issues requires expertise, knowledge, and experience that differ from those required for harassment cases in the home jurisdiction because of the differences in legal systems, cultures, and other factors.
We have extensive knowledge and experience dealing with harassment issues, from advising on preventive measures, to handling investigations and other issues when harassment incidents occur.
