Lawyer Internal Investigations Cologne

Legal Advisory - Internal investigations and Compliance Proceedings
There are just 2 conceivable scenarios which can become relevant internal investigations.
Either you are accused of non-compliant behavior or you are in the role of the person conducting the internal investigation into non-compliant suspicions, i.e. often the employer in the form of the managing director and his HR-Department.
It all starts with the first suspicious activity report - be it via a whistleblowing tool, an anonymous tip from an external source or your own direct perception. Now the first questions arise: who is the whistleblower? What is the truth of the allegations, does it sound plausible and would it even be a violation? Does the company even have codes of conduct and policies that go beyond the employment contract and make it possible to take legal action?
Who decides on this? Do you have an ombudsperson or a compliance officer in your ranks?
I can support you competently and effectively both on the employer's side and on the affected party's side.
