  • Interviews | Constantine Law

    Interviews Any interview with an investigator – whether internal, with a regulator, the police or with prosecution authority lawyers – is daunting and stressful, whatever your situation. Our team of experts have attended hundreds of different types of interviews with the police, the Serious Fraud Office, the Financial Conduct Authority, HMRC and other investigatory authorities, as well as ‘in house’ with company lawyers and corporate investigators. We know how to assess the situation, advise you and what strategy to deploy – from arrest through to post-interview advice. Interviews in criminal investigations can take a number of forms – voluntary, compulsory or ‘under caution’ (possibly whilst under arrest) – and can include an internal interview with an employer. It is essential that anyone called for interview seeks specialist legal advice as early as possible. Interviews of any nature should not be under-estimated as there are serious ramifications that can flow from them – both for an individual and a corporate. One risk is that an unrepresented person thinks they will ‘improve’ their situation by appearing to be helpful and agreeing to a quick interview. A hasty interview whilst unprepared can inadvertently worsen the position. Every interview is different and the advice we give is bespoke and unique to our client, the situation, their status, the evidence, the level of seriousness and the suspected offence. In every interview, whether you are compelled to answer questions or not, preparation is fundamental. You cannot be over prepared and the last thing you want is to be under-prepared. Many clients under-estimate the amount of preparation time required and the seriousness of the situation in terms of the level of risk and the ramifications when interviewed. Typically in fraud or financial crime interviews, detailed questions are asked in relation to events that may have occurred years ago and in relation to emails, texts, instant message, conversations, events, document that have long disappeared from short term memory. Interviews can take place over days – not hours. We typically go through a process with clients to help them refresh their memory with documentary material if it is available. When answering questions in interviews you cannot lie or mislead. However, interviews under caution, are different because a person may if they wish ‘exercise their right to silence’. Interviews under caution are conducted when there are grounds to suspect the interviewee may have committed a criminal offence. The situation is serious as it can lead to individuals being charged and at worst convicted of a criminal offence. The right to silence is a fundamental right that is provided to preserve the right against self-incrimination. We assess the situation very carefully and provide strategic advice to clients to help them deal with an interview under caution. It may be that we advise you to exercise your right to silence if it is an option and make ‘no comment’. Compulsory or compelled interviews are where a person is required by law to answer the questions – and if they refuse the risk is there may be a penalty of at worst imprisonment. With compelled interviews it is very important to seek legal advice to assist you with the process and prepare for the interview. We cannot overstate how important it is to seek specialist advice if you are called for interview of any nature. We are recommended by company lawyers to act as ‘independent legal advisors’ if employees or senior executives are being interviewed. As well as focussing on the interview we assemble a team from our experts in business crime, regulatory and employment to provide tailored advice and de-risk the situation. If the interview is overseas then we recommend trusted international lawyers to co-counsel with us. Funding We can discuss the funding options, the proposed scope of work and budget with you. Depending on the situation, you should check whether you have any legal expenses insurance (for example under professional indemnity, Directors’ & Officers’ or household insurance policies) or consider whether a third party, such as an employer, will contribute to your legal fees (eg under an indemnity).

  • Information Requests & Compelled Inter. | Constantine Law

    Information Requests & Compelled Interviews Whether you are a whistle blower, victim, witness or suspect, we will aim to provide sensible, measured and reassuring interview advice whatever situation you are facing. If you are subject to or at risk of regulatory investigation, whether as a business or an individual, then it is likely the regulatory body will request that you provide information to them. And it is likely they will want to interview you and other colleagues either as a subject of the investigation or a witness. Typically the information request will be ‘compelled’ or ‘compulsory’ – that means that the regulator has statutory powers to ‘compel’ you to provide the information (which can usually be provided electronically), often within a relatively short period of time. There can be serious repercussions if the information is not provided and businesses can underestimate the resources required internally to collate the information. Regulators or Enforcement teams are likely to interview witnesses and suspects under ‘compulsion’. Sometimes they ask for an account in writing. Failure to co-operate or mislead can have serious consequences. We are specialists in advising you how to respond to compulsory information requests and advising you on how to deal with compelled interviews. In terms of the information gathering exercise we manage the logistics of that process for you as required. In relation to compelled interviews, our team has represented clients in numerous investigations and represented hundreds of individuals in different types of interviews. We will help you to prepare thoroughly for the interview. This may include assisting you in refreshing your memory and familiarising yourself with the evidence, explaining how to conduct yourself and the ramifications for getting it wrong. We will advise and explain what is likely to happen after being interviewed. We hope to prepare you sufficiently so that the unexpected has been anticipated. Even if you are a witness, compelled interviews can have serious repercussions and are not to be under-estimated. Everyone finds compulsory investigation interviews a stressful and worrying time which at worst can have career limiting or career ending implications. If you have been asked to attend an interview or been served with a compulsory information request, get in touch with us straight away for advice and assistance. Our Experience Acted for senior executives subject to compulsory interviews in the SFO investigations of British American Tobacco, GlaxoSmithKline, Quindell, Rolls Royce and Unaoil.
